I have a long interest in 'canned' loadings. Interesting ones are hard to come by. If Phoenix ran any or a subset of TPCs, I'd like to try it. I would like to study how the storage does under the loading to see if we can make the storage run better. But I don't want to be the first to try it. I am not a Phoenix expert. II would prefer to learn from one one what works and what as yet is unsupported. Thanks, St.Ack
