Hey, thanks Chuck, I have been looking for something like this for a while, *ab* isn't a very well doumented tool...

Hi I have in the past run the ab utility.

The blurb about ab benchmarking tool.

For getting a benchmark, you can use a tool called *ab*, or Apache
Bench. This is a tool that comes with the Apache server. If you have
Apache 1.3 or later installed on Linux, *ab* is included. On Windows
it's included with the Apache 2 release. Running *ab* is straightforward
—just pass the uniform resource locator (URL) you want to test, like
so:

In browser address bar run:

ab http://localhost/

I hope this helps.

Chuck
