 Soak Tests
 ==========
 
-Long duration soak tests are executed using `PLRsearch algorithm`_.
-
-As soak tests are new, and take long time to run,
-only 6 tests were executed. From those, 4 tests encountered some caveat,
-making their results unreliable.
+Long duration (2 hours per test) soak tests are executed
+using :ref:`plrsearch` algorithm. As the test take long time, only 10 test
+were executed, two runs each.
