Ludovic -
Thanks for the reply.
Is there anything that I can do as an admin to test load?
For example, there have been times when my PF instance had an un-patched
bug. The system ran fine for weeks under a light load, but under a heavy
load it struggled. If I could have done some kind of load testing I could
have potentially solved the problem prior to students moving back.
Thanks!
Max
