NAME
     webbench - simple forking web benchmark

SYNOPSIS
     webbench [options] URL

AUTHOR
     This  program  and  manual page was written by Radim Kolar, for the Supreme
     Personality of Godhead (but may be used by others).

DESCRIPTION
     webbench is simple program for  benchmarking  HTTP  servers  or  any  other
     servers,  which  can  be accessed via HTTP proxy. Unlike others benchmarks,
     webbench uses multiple processes for simulating traffic generated by multi-
     ple users. This allows better operating on SMP systems and on systems  with
     slow or buggy implementation of select().

     starting with two dashes (`-').  A summary of options are included below.
