+detects.
+
+'stress' is not a benchmark. It is a tool used by system administrators to
+evaluate how well their systems will scale, by kernel programmers to evaluate
+perceived performance characteristics, and by systems programmers to expose
+the classes of bugs which only or more frequently manifest themselves when the
+system is under heavy load.")
