It would be good to know which version of CherryPy you are using. That wiki page is talking about the CP 2.0 branch; 2.1 and later are quite different. If you have a later version, try using cherrypy/test/benchmark.py Note also that you can use lighttpd as an HTTP server for CherryPy apps via FCGI/SCGI.
