LoadsAndPerformance is a new section that quantifies computing system
survivability as a function of the degree of damage to the computing
plant and the number of configurations in our certified set. 

Bottom line is that the good news for CADynCE is that if the computing
plant suffers 20% damage, then the difference between a set of 10 and a
set of 1000 allocations is the difference between life and death; the
bad news is that for 10% or less damage, and for 30% or more damage,
there is no material difference between 10 and 1000 allocations.
