On my slow machine I do shallow gremlin testing. This means I run from 0-999
(or as far as it gets before I stop it) and I have it switch at 10,000
events. This will usually turn up a few bugs that happen pretty quickly.
On my faster machine, I do the same thing but I have it switch at 100,000.
This catches more complex bugs.
On my main development machine, I just choose 1 gremlin and let it run until
it dies. I usually like to see it go well over 1,000,000.
The trick is to run the same session on all 3 machines. That way if the
hordes find a problem, you can check it out on your main machine while the
hordes keep on going. (If you have multiple machines.)
