Francois, do we have (or could we easily create) a mechanism to test that by constraining the number of VMs that run simultaneously? I know it would slow performance, but it would be interesting to see if we can quantify that.
Just two run in parallel. I wanted to ask Francois to bump that number up not lower it. The testbot is basically unusable for hours during the daily test run due to that.
Ah. Okay. Yeah, I think there is a sense that we want the software to behave sensibly before we start throwing hardware at the problem.
Hardware is cheap; we can easily throw more testbots at the problem...
I got told repeatedly by well informed sources that that isn't needed. Just sayin'
Actually, we've got a new server specced out, and we're going to put it into production use next week. If that goes well, we'll likely plan a migration for WineHQ as well...
Cheers,
Jeremy
