I seriously suggest you do not use this load tester if you are on shared hosting. I know I would boot you if I caught anyone trying this out on their sites on a shared box. ;)
Good way to see how caching holds up though I would think.

Thanks
Looks like with loadimpact, you can get upto 50 testers while loadstorm.com will only do up to 25 testers. But loadstorm.com will do higher numbers of testing users.
Yea I got the load tester for a month for 99 bucks to test 500 users.. I wish I would have seen this site before I signed up.
Visually it is more exciting to watch :-)
I have varnish checking for the affiliate cookie now. If it doesn't exist then it pipes the traffic to get the cookie. But I don't think they have cookies enabled when they run these load tests so I don't get much caching from it.

It's actually interesting.

@drmike yes great site! Well, it crashed my server a few times, but now handles 100 testers easily.

You do realize that you have to fix things now, right?
Good way to test to see if you have caching working right.
