If the duty cycle of a scrip with normal wait times is 20%,
then if you zero out the wait times, that same script does 5X the
work in the same time so it looks like 5 users.

This way a 200-user machine with short wait times would appear
to be 1000 users to the server.

But remember, you will need a hefty CPU to drive 200 browsers'
JavaScript without lugging down...
