You suspect wrong.
None of my queries are slow and none of my pages are slow.

I just want to test for 'unexpected' behavior under stress, for example
if 500 users try to send me an email, can my email queuing class handle
it.
Are the queue handled in time.

Or, what might happen when 500 users want to download the same file.
Can my simple download counter handle it? does it store the correct
value?
