Test fwk for JBoss Cache

Guys,

This is about moving off JUnit 3.x in future versions of
JBoss Cache  
(>= 2.1.0).  Bela mentioned wanting to do something
similar for  
JGroups as well - may be a good idea to move in the same
direction.  

The question is:  JUnit 4 or TestNG?  Has anyone got options
on  
these?  From what I understand (and don't forget I've not
used TestNG  
much)

JUnit 4:
+ easy migration
+ good IDE support
- no support for 'threaded tests'

TestNG:
+ Concurrent testing (being able to specify threads and
loops via  
annotations on a per-test basis)

Anyone else have any other thoughts or opinions?

Cheers,

This guy from Sun recommend TestNG:

nit-testng.pdf

Do we need such a rich set of features from TestNG?
Can we hook up TestNG up to CC?

Its not a requirement but I would like to see more support
for 
performance metric unit tests.  I coded some small
performance tests for 
pojo collections but never checked them in as I could only
visually 
verify if performance was good or not based on logged
performance 
measurements.  I'm not sure how this would really work in a
unit test 
but if someone smarter has figured it out, it would be nice
to use.  

This would catch problems that you normally don't see unless
running 
under load.  Anyone know if the TestNG concurrent testing
supports help 
in this area?
