I would like to pose a question to those of you interested in the performance
of computer systems.  What method do you favour for measuring/analysing the
performance of a computer system?  Stochastic (Markov) analysis?  Simulation?
Direct measurement?  Some other technique?

I know that it depends on what is being analysed/measured, but I would like
to hear what method you favour and why.
