I got myself a Ubuntu system set up, and was able to build River on it relatively easily, compared to Windows. Now I need to run the tests. What is the latest/best documentation on how to do so?

If you have a real world workload that shows contention, we could make serious progress on performance improvement - after 3.0 ships. I am not even disagreeing with changes that are only shown to make the tests more effective - after 3.0 ships. I am unsure about whether Peter is tilting at
