what does it mean to scale to N number of users, where N is large? The answer is highly dependent on your benchmark, and in particular to the think time that your benchmark uses. It's very easy to scale to 16,000 users if they each make a request every 90 seconds: that's on the order of 180 requests/second. On the other hand, if there's no think time in the equation, then continually handling 16,000 requests is quite difficult, particularly on small machines.
