While totally agreeing with your deployment strategies I would not count 
them as proper arguments for the matter at hand (benchmarking OL). I may 
be ignorant but I'd expect a poorly configured system to perform poorly 
and of course not doing things as you expect but not to misbehave or 
fail. If the underlying DB is not configured explicitely, fall back to 
sane defaults, if you hit the resource limits of hardware or whatever 
mechanism, the application should behave gracefully.
