k6 with a fixed number of virtual users, 60 to 61 s per level, after a 20 s warmup. The error rate counts responses that weren't a 200. Wagtail ran the way bakerydemo ships it: uWSGI with 2 workers of 4 threads each, whatever the box, and Postgres and Redis on stock settings. Memory peaked with Wagtail at 295 MB, Postgres at 147 MB, and Redis at 8 MB.
