For the primarily web application is no longer static. Considering factors like cache, instruction prediction, I suppose randomized request is need to avoid possible bias in benchmark. So I wanna proposal a patch for this. Any suggestion?
ab.c isn't the place for such work, and you are absolutely right (modern architectures are incredibly good at doing stupidly repetitive tasks efficiently, and this doesn't mirror the real world). Would you take a look at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/test/trunk/flood/ which is already moving in the direction of flexibility you seek, and is actively soliciting new ideas and patches?
