That is correct ; you can't do a decent test of a large
production-enviroment (multiple servers) with just one client behind a thin
adsl/cable connection. It's good enough to test the functionality but
stability, cpu-load or even stress-tests are out of the question.

Currently trying to get Flazr to work. Will keep you posted.
