Are the metrics for SPEC SFS 3.0 different than the metric for SFS 2.0?
No. SFS 3.0 maintains the same metrics that were used in SFS 2.0. The overall response time and peak throughput. The larger the peak throughput the better. The lower the overall response time the better. The overall response time is an indicator of how quickly the system under test responds to NFS operations over the entire range of the tested load. In real-world situations, servers are not run continuously at peak throughput, so peak response time provides only minimal information. The overall response time is a measure of how the system will respond under an average load. Mathematically, the value is derived by calculating the area under the curve divided by the peak throughput.
