Hello all,

I have recently did tuning on a performance issue and the gains were massive. Can you please guide me how to calculate ROI(Return on Investment) for this performance tuning. DBA's usually calculate performance gains monetarily. Can anyone please let me know how to do that. Thanks in advance.

>I have recently did tuning on a performance issue and the gains were massive.
which metric measured the performance gains?
why was this not detected & revealed earlier in code review or QA testing prior to deployment?

>DBA's usually calculate performance gains monetarily
please post URL which shows above is true.

post monetary value (Dollar, Franc, Pound, Mark, yen, etc.) for specific amount of CPU time & same for I/O activity.
How much is a 1 minute reduction in elapsed response time worth in your monetary unit.

is there any type of OS system resource or chargeback accounting now in place?

thanks blackswan,

testers used load testing on the database, before tuning it was 30 secs now it is around 1 sec.


> why was this not detected & revealed earlier in code review or QA testing prior to deployment?

it was detected earlier, but the dba was busy in doing other stuffs, so they didn't take care of this.

sorry, how to calculate the CPU time and I/O time monetarily? (USD)
I've never done performance ROI before.

all monetary units in this response are US Dollars.

Say single computer system (CPU & RAM) cost $50,000 to purchase.
System contains 8 cores.
System has expected useful life of 3 years.
3 years * (365 days /year) * (24 hours/ day) * (60 minutes/hour) * (60 seconds/minute) * 8 cores = 756,864,000 core-seconds
$50000/756864000 = .000066 cents/second
How many times will this query run over the next 3 years?
