Rick, The answer to your question is a resounding 'MAYBE' :) As with all things Mid-Tier, it's all about the caching on the server. As we all know, different things are cached for different users and depending on what your user base typically consists of, it makes a difference. On top of that, the system doesn't allow non-admin's to be logged in simultaneously...which means that all of your 'few accounts' would need to be admin, which wouldn't give you true testing...but if all you are looking to do is 'put a load' on the server...that shouldn't matter much....

For stress testing, is there any difference at the midtier layer between using a few users * multiple concurrent transactions vs. Lots of users running single tx?
