So most benchmarking tools don't do this? Any idea if `ab`[1] does? I've been assuming that they all fired off requests at constant rates, 'cuz yeah, otherwise it's pretty inaccurate compared to real-world load.

- zzzcpan 10y ago`ab` doesn't. But then again, benchmarking http services for latency doesn't really work. It's too hard to reproduce very complex real-world environments to get any useful latency data out of it. Just record response times where possible instead.
- matt4077 10y agoI just checked wrt and as it turns out, they did indeed add it in the meantime. Wrt2 was about the only one when I need it a year or two ago. Most people here seem to be working with so much traffic that they primarily care about throughput, but I live of about 300 pageviews/day. With the way that people and google react to latency, it's a good day when I can shave 10ms of every request. (Can't wait for ruby->elixir transition to be complete. So far it seems to safe about 100ms).
