Show Slowest/Fastest – Select whether you would like the
graph to show the slowest or the fastest Server-Client pairs. The
exact number of Server-Client pairs displayed depends on the
setting of the adjacent Server-Client Pairs option.
Server-Client Pairs – Specify the number of Server-Client pairs
you would like included in the graph.
Sort By Options
The Sort By options let you specify the criterion by which you would like
the server-client pairs displayed in the graph to be sorted. Server-Client
pairs are sorted in the graph from left (highest value of the selected
criterion) to right (lowest value of the selected criterion) along the
horizontal axis of the graph.

Option Description
Max Response Time Enable this option if you would like server-client
pairs to be sorted according to the highest (that
is, the slowest) response time observed on each
listed pair.
RspTm of 90%
Response
Enable this option if you would like server-client
pairs to be sorted according to their 90%
Response values.
Each server-client pair has a 90% Response
value – this value means that 90% of all
responses observed for this client-server pair
were faster than the indicated response time.
This option can be useful when you want to
smooth out statistical oddities. For example, if a
given server-pair happened to have one or two
responses among many that were much slower
than the others, this option can remove the
strangely slow responses from statistical
consideration.
