[Mongrel] Load testing methodologies/tools

[Steve Midgley]

I tried a bunch of tools and ended up using Jakarta J-Meter b/c it 
works cross-platform (Unix/Windows in my situation) and has a gui which 
shallows the learning curve. I've been quite satisfied with it..

Search the archives on this list and you should be able to find some 
great info Zed and others wrote a while back on How to Load Test 
Correctly. I found that series of posts to be pretty helpful in testing 
Mongrel/Rails. IIRC, about this was about 10 months ago.

Best,

Steve
