The above test uses 1000 concurrent connects, which for a heavily loaded 
  server isn't really a lot.

1000 connections ... so let's see how long it takes a test to run.

I run gatling, then lighttpd, then apache, all lastest version.
This is on Fedora Core 2 and a 2.8g P4 with 2gigs of ram.
Apache is as installed by Redhat's install program.
Gatling is the current cvs version
lighttpd is the current public version.

Note that I am only showing the end of the run, and have cut out a bunch 
of redundant data as it is at the end that the webserver has either 
bogged down or is still going strong.

gatling:
[root@a00 gatling]# time ./httpbench -k -c 1000 -i 10 -s 5

apache dies rather early in this test. I leaves a zillion forked zombies 
and you MUST restart apache after the test.
