I believe our 3000 event calendar is good for calendar data still. But
we should think about adding reasonable RSS and email data packs to the
picture. In real use cases both of these will dwarf calendar data for
many people (thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of email messages
and RSS items might be in the same ballpark).

I am not sure what you mean. It is also not possible to run a test for
empty and filled repository at the same time (its possible to run the
same script, but Chandler would need to be started separately with empty
and filled repositories).

Ok.

There is a limit to what we can run continuously on Tboxes simply
because I think the test cycle should be fast. Ideally I'd like to see
the cycle complete in an hour (we are about there now). In the most
extreme case perhaps as slow as 6 hours would work, but we'd need more
support in the graphing stuff and perhaps automated notifications for
perf regressions as well for cycles that slow (because it would be
unreasonable to have anyone wait that long for the results).
