Transaction Mix

The following table describes the mix of operations that make up the read/write transaction mix. The Windows SharePoint Services team counts only meaningful end-user operations in the throughput numbers, but the load on the server includes supporting transactions as well, such as getting the images, style sheets, and JavaScript files for the home page.

Note: There are roughly two supporting transactions for each end-user transaction. In other words, the end-user operations make up about a third of the total transaction load on the server.
