1. A method of measuring performance and capacity of a networked server coupled to a cluster of client machines, the method comprising: initializing each client machine of the cluster of client machines with a number of client applications; performing a first feedback process of configuring the number of client applications for said each client machine such that each client application adjusts its own operation to achieve a first balance point of a client application count for said each client machine; and performing a second feedback process in which the networked server and the cluster of client machines achieve a second balance point of a client machine count for the networked server.
