Project Description

lb is a very small and efficient libevent-based benchmarking tool for HTTP servers. It has been implemented with the main goal to provide a safe and quick replacement for the Apache 'ab' tool. Since its first release, it comes with the ability to benchmark several HTTP servers at the same time, theoretically limited only by operating system limits.

This version improves performance by about 148% with respect to the previous release, and therefore it's about 53% faster than the original 'ab'. Initial versions of the scripts were added using the GNU build system to compile out of the libevent SVN tree.
