Doug Smythies ran a ~68 hour test on it, running various synthetic loads
of various frequencies against it and comparing the reported load
averages against the expected values and found it to be 'good'.
This doesn't guarantee we won't find more 'interesting' problems in
there, but it does give me fair confidence in it.
