probably not really a PHP question but i'll take a chance, anyway.
i want to examine the network throughput i can get when continually
uploading files from a PHP script via a POST request using the
HTTP_Request2 class.
i have a client-side script that simply takes files, creates a
short POST request, and submits it to a server-side PHP script that
takes the uploaded file and saves it. no big deal.
as a test, i created a random 5M file, then looped 100 times
submitting the same file, and timed it. while the system and user
time was only a few seconds total, real (clock on the wall) time was
2.5 minutes. this suggests that the bottleneck is simply network
transfer speed.
while i'm doing these uploads, is there a way to monitor network
throughput? if this is truly the bottleneck, the only real solution
will be to pay a premium for faster network access, i suppose. but
i'd just like to be able to produce some numbers or evidence that
that's the actual problem. thoughts?

You might want to test your connection, such as:
