cvsnt servers are installed in large companies where they have several 
hundred users hitting them at once (and support several thousand users 
overall) - they get, and pass, *real world* stress.  Most users will 
never hit that kind of load... any testing to that level is irrevelevant 
to them.

There was a specific period during the 2.5.01 era where lockserver was 
taking up too much CPU than was comfortable.  I setup a series of stress 
tests designed to force it to take up CPU then profiled it to get the 
load down.  Once this is done there's no point in doing it again unless 
it becomes an issue, and those old tests wouldn't be relevant now anyway.
