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.
