In the simplest test I created a world consisting of a rectangular
array of locations, roughly 100x100 as I recall, with every location
gemotrically joied to all its neighbors. I then scattered a variety
of basic objects about the landscape (things to pick up and drop).
On a seperate machine I then ran a MT client that initiated N
connections to the server (where N grew over time), logged in, and
then randomly walked the resultant characters around and picked up
and dropped objects randomly. The pacing of commands was roughly as
fast as the client could cycle thru the characters and detect ACK
strings from the prior commands. This resulted in a pretty rough
bell curve centered on about one command every three seconds (a bit
low, but hey).
Somewhere around or just past 700 the machine repeatedly cratered.
