Performance-related improvements
- Low overhead project template
New out-of-the-box Low overhead project template is now available. This template is preconfigured to minimize the performance overhead caused by Seeker Agents: all project features that might impact application performance or behavior are deactivated. You can use this template as is or modify it to fit your specific testing needs and environment.

- Maximum connected Agents
By default, the number of Agents simultaneously connected to a project is unlimited. More Agents improve test coverage, but might cause an overhead in certain testing environments where multiple instances of the same application are deployed for load balancing. To ensure that Agents are not deployed redundantly with each application instance, you can now configure a maximum number of Agents for a project.
