I am doing around 3500 tests across about 1800 hosts.  Solaris 10 on a Sun Netra-T ultra sparc IIi with 512 K RAM and a single processor.  It does ok but is a slow machine to start with.

So typically, what do you guys have set for bbnet-threads?  I seem to often get purple for the net tests and the client-side tests go purple quite often.  I'm only running about 60 net tests and maybe 25 client-side tests.  I just attributed it to too much load on the bb server.  What tricks/hints do you all have for allowing BB to monitor so many hosts?
