Is that a fair test? i tired the script on a box i have which while very
different to the boxes in use i could not get it to break a sweat.
admittedly i was only serving the default welcome page. I will try it again
with a wiki setup and see how it goes then

Changing the original plan. The script should run from a client host (not the web server). I think one client host is enough to hammer the server. Using multi-hosts will only complicate data gathering un-necessarily
Serving static pages is waaay faster. Just try it on a wiki/cms style server. My 2Ghz CPU is at 100% just at 10 concurrent connections to joomla!

I had some that did not get captured for some reason (1900 and 2000) also i
was left with alot of top processes running

umm ok, will try to fix this
