Alex,

Is it a good step to increase number of virtual
interfaces/robots to 1000/machine and keep the request
rate/robot to 0.4/sec. Will this help to achive
400requests/sec/machine without experiencing "virtual
memory exceeded in new" problem and help not generate
a best-effort workload.

Thank you

Mohan
