Hi,
This is probably a silly question: Isn't a stress test supposed to max
out the server?

That said, I know little of serious performance testing. :)

I would stress my server, not to find out if my App has performance
problems but to find out what the limit of my server is.
When I profile my code to find bottlenecks, I need to measure how long
my code takes to run certain methods or groups of methods. Maxing out
Apache would not tell me much.

I mostly "maunally" profile suspected bottlenecks in my apps. I add
lots and lots of data, because 2nd to requestAction, the biggest slow-
down in most cases is data manipulation. Then I try to cause some
clear improvement by optimizing how and what data is queried.
Containable is my new best friend :)

Are you using JMeter because it is able to track how php handles each
request?
