Are you trying to load the servers with requests?

I use tclwebtest.  VERY easy to create scripts to put a heck of a load
on a 
server.

Then I use standard system tools to evaluate system load, wait times,
ect.

Please tell us what you decide to use.

Regards.

Leo

PS:  Tclwebtest works great but it hasn't been updated in 5 years.   I'm

starting to migrate my testing to webrat (as suggested on the
sourceforge 
website).
