Join For FreeNiall Commiskey has written a really useful guide to measuring the time a Gateway takes to call a Web Service.
I recommend you check it out if you're interested in this information.
One thing I'd add is that Niall is timing how long a Web Service filter
takes to run. The Web Service filter may be doing other things, in
addition to calling the Web Service (e.g. it may be doing Schema
validation on the message). So the timing is showing how long all of
these things take, together. If you call an API or Web Service using a "Connect to URL" filter (as explained in this blog post) then all it is doing is making the call.
To add to Niall's information, here are some other ways you can find this information about how long a Web Service call takes:
1) Use Traffic Monitor. This is available by default by pointing a browser to 8090 on the Gateway. It shows in milliseconds how long each processing step at the Gateway takes, including calls to external Web Services or APIs.
2) Use SR . In the example below, I am using the SR tool (which comes with the free SOAPbox download) to call a Google search API over SSL. You can see it tells me the time the request took. If I want to send many requests, I can do that with the -c (count) and -p (parallel threads) parameters.
