This mainly applies when you are doing load testing on an AJAX site, and in server loading mode you want your scripts to run now matter how much load there is on the system.

This means that you have to make sure your script will run without using ANY wait-time synchronizations.

The fast and dirty way to find out if you have such a script is to set the delay multiplier to 0...and then run the script. If it fails then you are experiencing a de-synchronization of your AJAX playback due to some concurrent JavaScript activity. That's easy to fix...you use SyncOnTest (added from the eValid GUI) or SyncOnElementProperty commands (added to the script manually using data from the PageMap) to wait for the AJAX work to complete.

When you can run your script with a delay multiplier of 0 -- no waits at all -- and have a successful run, then your script is "load test safe".
