If you test with non-TYPO3-cached pages (most simply by adding 
no_cache=1), you are practically doing random access testing, because 
unless you disable MySQL cache (which you should never ever do), some 
queries will eventually be cached in the database in any normal 
circumstances.

But again, the database itself is almost never the bottleneck.
