Hi all,

I'm struggling with a sentence. Wondering if it sounds okay to y'all
or if someone can provide better wording.

Here is some background. The CUPS test suite is run with "make check".
After running that command, you are prompted with a couple of questions
after a message is displayed describing the tests.

You are prompted for two things: which test to run and if you want to
use Valgrind.

Here is some text I am going to commit. If it can be better, please
don't hesitate to provide better text.

"To test the results, issue: make check. Note that the “torture
load testing” test uses more resources than is displayed in the
message prompting you to choose which test to run."

====================================================================
Just for fun, here is the message displayed (it is kind of funny)

Welcome to the CUPS Automated Test Script.

Before we begin, it is important that you understand that the larger
tests require significant amounts of RAM and disk space.  If you
attempt to run one of the big tests on a system that lacks sufficient
disk and virtual memory, the UNIX kernel might decide to kill one or
more system processes that you've grown attached to, like the X
server.  The question you may want to ask yourself before running a
large test is: Do you feel lucky?

OK, now that we have the Dirty Harry quote out of the way, please
choose the type of test you wish to perform:

1 - Basic conformance test, no load testing (all systems)
2 - Basic conformance test, some load testing (minimum 256MB VM, 50MB disk)
3 - Basic conformance test, extreme load testing (minimum 1GB VM, 500MB disk)
4 - Basic conformance test, torture load testing (minimum 2GB VM, 1GB disk)

Please enter the number of the test you wish to perform:
