-_Megatests_ is a special class of tests performed on Pygr code, whose aim  
is to ensure adequate performance of Pygr under heavy load. Running such  
tests is particularly important during active development of code, as it  
allows one to quickly detect any changes negatively impacting performance;  
on the other hand, they can also be used to benchmark Pygr performance or,  
indirectly, observe performance-degrading system problems on a certain  
machine or machines.
+_Megatests_ is a special class of tests performed on Pygr code, which  
differ from regular tests in that they require significant amounts of input  
data, disc space and/or CPU time. As such, they are not run automatically  
by the test suite.

+The aim of most existing megatests is to ensure adequate performance of  
Pygr under heavy load. Running such tests is particularly important during  
active development of code, as it allows one to quickly detect any changes  
negatively impacting performance; on the other hand, they can also be used

system problems on a certain machine or machines.

  The purpose of this page is to provide complete instructions for everyone  
wishing to run megatests on his/her system - from obtaining the necessary  
data through actual running of megatests to automatic periodic running and  
reporting.

haven't been rewritten for the new test framework yet);

   * _(optional)_ A local worldbase XML-RPC server, so that the  
data-download test is not affected by the quality of your connection to the  
UCLA one;

   * Sequence data, miscellaneous input and reference output used by  
megatests; obtaining and installing these will be described below.
