Tuning terminology

System tuning has specific definitions for common terms.

Response time
The amount of time it takes for the Interact runtime server to respond to an API request as measured from the client side.
Throughput
The number of transactions per second.
Transaction
A call to the Interact runtime server by the Interact API, including calls that are defined by the InteractAPI class such as startSession and setAudience. The executeBatch call is one transaction, even though it can contain several commands. These do not include methods that work with response objects, for example, the Offer class.
