Sure. The phases are defined in include/polymix-4-guts.pg file. Append
the contents of that file to your workload, remove
        #include "polymix-4-guts.pg"
line and edit whatever you want. The resulting workload will not be a
PolyMix-4, and you will be responsible for any side effect, of course.
For example, not that top phase duration affects the size of the
working set in PolyMix-4.

You can adjust the "platDur" variable in your copy of
polymix-4-guts.pg file to shorten or lengthen all phases. You can
adjust individual phases as well:

Yes. You will need to suck in polymix-4-guts.pg file for that as well
(see above). Change:
        AddrMap Map = {
                zone = "bench.tst";
                addresses = S.addresses;
                names = ipsToNames(addresses, zone);
        };
to:
        AddrMap Map = {
                zone = "bench.tst";
                addresses = S.addresses;
                names = addresses;
        };

That is, set Map.names to Map.addresses. This should tell Robots to
use IP addresses instead of domain names. Also see
        http://www.web-polygraph.org/docs/userman/address.html

HTH,

Alex.
