Hi Darrell,

I have a bad news and a good news.
The bad news is that what you are experiencing is probably due to a limitation 
of the OFBiz inventory reservation engine: under heavy load there is a lot of 
db lock contention in the InventoryItem table especially if you are placing 
orders for the same product (that reserve the same inventory item). 
Unfortunately I don't have a fix for this issue but you could see if it is 
actually the problem you are facing by disabling inventory reservations (go to 
Catalog->Stores, select the store and set to No: Check Inventory, Require 
Inventory, Reserve Inventory, Balance Res On Order Creation): these settings 
should speed up your tests.
The good news is that yesterday I faced (running a JMeter load test on order 
creation) a Java deadlock, caused by FOP, and I was able to fix it (this can 
happen, under unlucky timing, when two OFBiz threads generate two order 
confirmation emails): if you see that you system hangs you can get a Java 
thread dump (let me know if you don't know how to get it) and this should tell 
you if you are having such a deadlock; for this issue I have a fix (I have 
patched the fop1.1 distribution) and I can send you the jar file if you want to 
give it a try (however fop1.1. works only for the 13.07 and the trunk, if my 
memory serves).
