Do you mean a benchmark software that uses a MINA codec? It sounds like a good idea, but we will also need to think about distributed load generation and many more advanced features that existing testing frameworks provide. Considering that, I'd personally prefer to provide some kind of plugin, extension or module for a known performance testing framework. I know JMeter doesn't satisfy your needs but there might be some other performance testing framework that will fit best (even if it's not ideal best). However, on the other hand, if you have some good idea about performance testing framework which tightly integrates MINA, I'd like to see you go ahead and how it will look like. Please feel free to do what you want to do. It will be an exciting project anyway, because we might be able to provide some features of the advanced testing framework while improving MINA to support you to implement such features.
