Doing stress tests with things like single cores in the loop when you have parallelization processes just makes BTS look bad. At the very least, we need a bench with only quad cores and high network bandwidth only. There also needs to be a asterisk stating the TPS continues to scale with more CPU cores and HD+network bandwidth as well. Clayop's current tests are doing far more harm than good because he doesn't state anything about hardware used or what bottlenecks occurred. The public sees these tests and thinks Bitshares is under-performing.
It's like a hardware company releasing a mouse with 4m/s perfect control speed, but you let some random guy test the mouse underwater and publish the results.
