RAT is doing work. If your production server is severely overloaded,
running RAT will make things worse.

It's your judgement as to whether your put up with the additional workload
in order to test a platform migration that will presumably make things
better.

How much worse? Couldn't say, but a few percent probably.

John

Is there any additional load on the Prod db if you're capturing workloads
to replay on another database?

Let's say our Prod box is CPU bound (severely) - would RAT worsen that, or
does it somehow manage to capture the workloads without adding additional
load the source server?  I'm guessing it does but want to confirm.
