Response time discrepancy

Hi,

I'm testing the performance of my web services.  I modified the Apache logging on my server with the %D parameter to capture the execution time.  Now, when I compare the response time in SOAPUI to what shows up in the Apache access log, they don't match.  SOAPUI shows 419 ms (.419 sec) and Apache shows 919632 microseconds (.919... sec).  If anything, I would expect SOAPUI to show a longer time than the Apache log.  Anyone have an idea why these numbers aren't closer?

    Hi Dean,

    that does sound strange! Is this when you are running a loadtest or individual requests? Have you selected the global "Include Response Time.." option in the HTTP Preferences?

    regards!

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response.  Yes, I have the "Include response in time taken" checked as well as "Include request in time taken" checked in the global SoapUI settings.  This is observed when running individual requests.  I'm using version 2.5.1 of SOAPUI.
