[thelist] Simulating User Testing

Cherian - 

The Apache webserver comes with a nifty little benchmarking/simulation
tool, called simply enough, ab. It can simulate a variety of variables
for you, and is pretty easy to use.

If you use Apache, you can find it in your APACHE_HOME/bin directory 

Good luck, and may your servers be fast ;)
