yes, I have, but at this time only in a simple way.

I compared it to a speedy but fcgi-less webserver called gatling.

Using a tool supplied with gatling:

Call it like this:

   ./httpbench -k -c 1000 -i 10 -s 5 http://127.0.0.1:8000/README.httpbench

This means that httpbench should open 500 HTTP connections to
127.0.0.1:8000, and every 10 connections it should 5 times request "/"
from the web server there.  The -k tells httpbench to run these 5
requests over the same TCP connection, using HTTP keep-alive.

The output from httpbench looks something like this:

   connecting to 127.0.0.1 port 8000
