Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-8457:
-------------------------------------

bq. cstar doesn't support multiple stress clients

Stress could be modified to support simulating true multiple client access; 
i've filed CASSANDRA-8466.

What we really need is to be able to fire up a (much) larger cluster, though. 
With our current hardware probably necessitating multiple VMs per node - say, 
4, giving a viable cluster of 24 which is probably about bare minimum for these 
kinds of tests. This necessarily pollutes the results somewhat since each VM 
will have only half a CPU, and incur extra thread signalling penalties, but 
it's better than nothing. Either that or we get a bunch of cheapo nodes, or we 
add EC2 integration.

[~enigmacurry] any plans in the works to introduce support for large clusters?

> Thread-per-peer (actually two each incoming and outbound) is a big
