[PHP] Load / Stress Testing

2002-09-09 Thread Dan Hardiker

Hi All,

I have a CPU intensive PHP application, and would like to stress test it
to find out the number of concurrent connections I can have before the
response rate from my script is 5 seconds or more.

The tests will initally take place over a 100mbs LAN.

The following are in use:
  PHP 4.2.3 (using APXS) [also v4.3.0-dev will be tested]
  Apache 1.3
  MySQL 3.23
  FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE

Ive thought of writting a load testing script, but Im not after
reinventing the wheel.
