OK, that should be doable. I'm curious as to whether you think
secondary effects matter. That is, are you just concerned about how
big the fixed structures for a new client are, or do you want to see
what happens to various caches, etc. as another client starts doing
things?

>   Transactions per X Unit of Time (e.g. seconds)
>   Latency per Client (graph as Client Load Increases)

You'd have to specify what the activities are. For example, my
server would process a "look around" in an empty room a whole lot
faster than it would process a "walk north" from one busy room to
another, especially if there is special softcode involved in the
entry and/or exit.
