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 Sites and How 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...)
