Thanks for reply.
>This could easily be caused by something outside of the test itself.
Background processes. A monitoring system kicking in to write some data to
disk will cause a drop like this.
>Three things you could look into to try and track down the issue:
>-Did you turn on log_checkpoints to see if one happens to run when the rate
drops?
Yes. I have turn on log_checkpoints.

>If so, that could be the explanation. Looks like you setup the test to

Yes. It happen on every test run.

No. It is not occurring at same time.There is no as such pattern.
>-You can run "top -bc" to dump snapshots of what the system is doing every

during the two seconds around when the throughput dropped.
I have used vmstat, iostat, sar, pidstat, top etc.
here i am sending some snaps from above tolls logs.
