Because curiosity is killing me, what is the requirement to have 1000 sessions, let alone 2000? That just seems broken to me. The reason I bring this up is because there isn't just potential issues at the database level, most OS perform much worse with that many processes. Think about the time sharing model when there are 2000 processes to schedule.

I believe that Andrew Holdsworth (my boss) is doing an "over-processed" demo as part of the IOUG tour which is based off the one he did for OOW10.
