This test is to find out the average time it takes for a remote PYRO method call. Also it is a kind of stress test because lots of calls are made in a very short time. The oneway method call test is very fast if you run the client and server on different machines. If they're running on the same machine, the speedup is less noticable. There is also the 'connections' benchmark which tests the speed at which Pyro can make new proxy connections. It tests the raw connect speed (by releasing and rebinding existing proxies) and also the speed at which new proxies can be created that perform a single remote method call.
