FreeBSD benchmarks : webbench

Simple forking web benchmark

 webbench is very simple HTTP benchmarking tool, which can benchmark
both WWW and proxy servers. webbench uses fork() for simulating
multiple clients and supports benchmarking by HTTP/0.9-HTTP/1.1
requests (without Keep-Alive). This benchmark is not very realistic,
but can test if your HTTPD can really handle many clients at once (try
to run some CGIs) without taking your machine down. I am using this
program for setting maximum number of Apaches. Webbench displays
results in pages/min and bytes/sec.
