 Ok, I have a challenge to anounce. I wonder if we can  stress our virtualized showcase EBS  running on  https://intranet.ebsfaq.com  a little more as if this would be a productional maschine.  
(I think we never could make that much workload on it as on a really productional machine, but maybe just a little more.)
