It would help if  you could tell us which version of CVSNT  was that with ?

Each command is serially executed. In other words its waiting for 
previous cmd to finish. So load is initially set to 50. No point running 
1000 concurrent clients when we have trouble with 50. When I had last 
checked
cvsnt.org web site (approx 2-3 weeks ago) that was the build (2221) the 
cvsnt.org website was recommending.  I am a bit confused though, the 
"Purchase CVS Suite" panel on your website
mentions 2.5.02. Is the open source version experimental and the 
commercial version the stable one ? Do
we need to purchase the commercial version to get a stable build ?

I had also posted to the cvsnt-dev mailing list if there were existing 
stress tests that cvsnt-dev community
runs. I didn't get any reply. Right now the cvsnt web site has the 2151 
as the latest build. Is that a
recommened build for production now ?  If  Arthur or you have a specific 
recommendation for a build to pick
up, we can try that.

Thanks
