The
Intel-backed ScienceSim grid, running the open source OpenSim virtual
world server software, ran a demo with over 1,000 avatars in a single

I know we broached this subject some time ago but I was wondering if anyone<br>
had eventually developed some method for doing an automated load test? If<br>
so, what software and parameters were involved? I also discovered this<br>
wealth of open source load testing software and thought it might be helpful<br>
somehow at <a href="http://www.opensourcetesting.org/performance.php" target="_blank">http://www.opensourcetesting.org/performance.php</a><br>

Thanks,<br>
