Hi Jerry, 

First off Tom is correct you should probably be looking at v3 at this point. :)

In reference to v2 however, you are correct in your assumption that "load test” threads abound in the list archives. [1] [2] Needless to say this has been asked many times before. People have varying tolerances on what they will accept for a definitive answer.

I trust you have found the v2 page referencing load testing etc.. [3]

From what I recall, in referencing IdP 2.x series Chad would pretty much say that your DataConnector links and or systems will always fall over before the IdP stops its processing. 

HTH Sorry not too many specifics regarding your questions.
