NOTE With a 10 Mbit network, our test results show that, for our script,
network activity was not a bottleneck. Upgrading to a 100 Mbit
network would not have significantly improved our test results.
However, it is important to remember that, for purposes of our test, we
used an isolated network with no additional traffic. In additional, our
test script was not graphics intensive.
As expected, as processor utilization increases network activity begins
to level off.
