Very good point! And I just forgot to write that I have asked them and am waiting for a reply. I suggested that we do our runs at night on the shared machines, there are 25-27 of them that we can use if we get permission. > We should really have a (perhaps smaller) set of stable and > otherwise unused machines for this sort of testing.

I think having 10 old-ish machines would be perfect for us.
