This is mostly the line: Merb.start_environment(:adapter => 'runner') # perhaps also :testing => true is needed, along with a correct ENV Once you have that, it should be possible to use normal benchmarking tools with the request method to test. Though, if it's mostly data you're testing, perhaps the methods to process it would be better on your model, where they can be tested and benched normally? (And independent of the stack, which shouldn't be a significant factor in data-heavy tasks anyway.)
