wrk is a modern HTTP benchmarking tool capable of generating significant load when run on a single multi-core CPU. It combines a multithreaded design with scalable event notification systems such as epoll and kqueue.
"Based on epoll on Linux, Weighttp is much faster than AB – even with one single thread. But its real value is when you are using as many threads/processes as you have CPU Cores on the server you target because THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY TEST A SMP/CMP SERVER."
ab.c is a wrapper for Apache Benchmark, HTTPerf and Weighttp (from Lighttpd)
