Who cares. These have nothing to do with whether CCBill is to blame, which is what this thread has become. The test is merely to show if one processor really outperforms another, not why.
If you divvy up the joins you send to your billers in an equal but random fashion, and do it in real time so the comparison is timely and current (not testing day to day, or week to week) you won't know the root cause of the slowdowns, but you can say for certain processor X outperforms processor Y.
This is how any real business would conduct these tests. They draw off customers at random, but all at the same time and place. Y'all are complicating what is really a very simple process.
