Oh come on stress testing against Localhost is entirely unrealistic. For a start you've removed all network I/O limitations, You are quite right for the most part. First of all, my DSL modem would go up in flames before even a cheap rent-a-server service would notice any relevant increase in traffic. So, for real-life testing you need a decent internet connection for a start. But then, yes, testing makes a lot more sense. But testing against localhost is also a good idea. You might notice race conditions and things like that a lot easier. At least, i did. and for seconds unless your renting a beefy server your likely to have far more available RAM on a home system, especially these days. When doing production critical services, i usually put my own servers in a colocation. While it's certainly more work, it usually pays (for me) in the long run. Especially when upgrade time comes around. But since i do (mostly) in-house stuff, your situation is probably completly different from mine...
