Seems unlikely to be that dramatic, though. Double-check that you have the correct session info. > some calculations and database queries.

I wouldn't do that -- Keep the test valid by having it do the same thing regardless of the environment... If anything, check to make sure that your ab test actually IS altering the db the way a normal visitor would. Otherwise your test is only of academic interest. > Does anyone know, why the php-part is not executed when I use ab or > where I should start off to find the problem? I don't know ab that well, or Apache for that matter, but it should be pretty easy in PHP to record the "hits" and be sure that PHP is executing. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
