I'm not familiar with those tools. When we do a
performance test, we may run 2000 simulated users at one
time, to generate the load we expect, when our customers
make a change due to a monthly expiration on passwords.
So, it really is much more than a maintenace style of
change or update.

Thanks...Tom
