 Five threads ran in parallel, one for each scenario, back to back with no pauses.   The transactions were initiated
 by each jmeter thread group.   Each thread initiated a transaction, monitored the transaction, and
 as soon as the transaction ending was detected, it initiated the next one.

 Commentary
 ==========
 
-There has been a degradation of performance observed in this release
-when compared with the previous one.
-Approximately 1% of transactions were not completed as expected for
-some use cases.   Average Execution Times are extended as well.
-The unexpected results seem to point in the direction of the
-interactions of the distributed locking feature with the database.
-These areas as well as the conditions for the test need to be investigated
-further.
+There is around 1% unexpected failures during the 72-hour run.   This can also be seen in the
+final output of jmeter:

+The 1% errors were found to be related to the nature of the run, where each one of the 5 use case
+threads run without pauses starting one after the other a new round of their assigned control loop.
+It has been found that at times, the release time of the lock (which requires DB operations) outruns
+the initiation of the next control loop (using the same resource), therefore the newly initiated control
+loop fails.  In reality, this scenario with the same resource being used back to back in consecutive control
+loop rounds will be unlikely.
