1. A method of determining utilization of a computing system resource, comprising:

  • collecting a trace of requests in a computing system;

    running the trace while altering a time-basis of the requests of the trace by issuing each request at a time that is based on timing of one or more prior requests; and

    comparing a first time-based statistic associated with said collecting the trace to a second time-based statistic associated with said running the trace to determine the utilization, wherein the first time-based statistic comprises a period of time over which the trace of requests extends and wherein the second time-based statistic comprises a time required to complete said running the trace.
