Heh no, we just went for the high value of 2.5 hours for our LBS
testing. Note that the soaking is *per* test and hence the summation
of *all* 46 tests need to be considered. Unless of course we run 46
guests all running each respective soak test separately.

I suspect you might be right. We *may* be able to experiment more with
this once resource scaling can be done automatically for us, ie with
something like k8.
