I think you missed the point that the drones are *distributed* on
*different* machines. That is, each drone is running in a separate image on
a separate vm on a seperate machine (though I suppose you could have
multi-vms on the same machine too).
So, speed of connection attempts is not limited by Squeak itself, but by the
number of machines used :)
The nice thing about this is that it provides for the possibility of much
more accurate simulation of load (since you can get the effect of net
traffic.

Hmm. Me neither. I wonder what's up?
