[»] Web Bench vs Other Tools
by Hendry Lee - Oct 7th 2008 12:33:21

I find this tool interesting, but could you shed some lights about the benefits of using webbench vs. other tools, such as ab?

I'm currently working on a project on building a fast, efficient and stable web server based on nginx. It is designed to work as blog hosting, particularly using the WordPress platform.

And part of it is using http benchmarking tool to at least measure how many concurrent connections the server can handle, speed and resource usage.
