This is what I was trying to address with my Meta question Can we weed out the benchmarking questions?
What I got from the answers was that we could do away from these if there were Canonical Questions, so I wrote How do you do Load Testing and Capacity Planning for Web SitesHow do you do Load Testing and Capacity Planning for Web Sites and How do you do Load Testing and Capacity Planning for DatabasesHow do you do Load Testing and Capacity Planning for Databases
I also believe that there was a section of the FAQ added in order to address these broadly-answerable questions. (I can't find it now. Perhaps it was part of a discussion...)
