Description

There is a problem in the new Performance Test Framework. If a test utilising the maxiumumDuration feature completes with too many messages left on a queue (as would be the case where number of producers out-number consumers), the QueueDelete command issued by the framework can apparently fail owing to a timeout exception. The command does in fact complete successfully server side, it is just the client gives up awaiting the response. This can cause a spurious test failure.

I see this with VaryingNumberOfParticipants.json when maximumDuration is set to 100seconds.
