A tool similar to httperf. I don't think measurement tools matter. BTW, can
ApacheBench run on multiple clients?

I tried 1200 - 2400 concurrent connections but didn't notice any difference of
them. The files do gets bigger if gzipped, i.e. random chars. But "compression"
is disabled and tests with a file of zeros have the same results.

Are there something I am missing?
