Heavy load k6 it quit on my engine

We maxed out everything today in both K6 and HeavyLoad. I started HeavyLoad and not even a few seconds later every metric across the board shot straight up. Memory pressure hit 2400% instantly.

HeavyLoad froze, completely unresponsive, but the laptop stayed running fine and healthy the entire time. RAPTOR kept going without slowing down.

The benchmark tool stopped. The system didn’t. RAPTOR handled the full load without any issues.

    The interesting part is that the benchmark failed before the system did.

    Curious whether you’ve repeated this against other load generators to make sure the result is measuring RAPTOR’s resilience rather than HeavyLoad’s own limits.
