title: How to get a realistic web load test result in Visual Studio 2012?
body: <p>I've created a web load test for my site, ramping up from 1 to 300 users.  The performance recorded on the test is outrageous, totally off the scale from the worst performance I could imagine - imagine response times for a simple login script taking up to 10 minutes!</p>
  
  <p>My immediate suspicion falls on the fact that I'm simulating 300 clients on a single computer.  I would guess that my own computer's processing power and internet bandwidth are much more of a bottleneck than the server.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any better way of testing my web site's performance that will yield more realistic results?  </p>
