The tool is "ab", included with any Apache distribution ( including
Windows). Hello and HelloW are included with TC 3.3 - in
src/examples/WEB-INF/classes.

I'll add few more simple servlets to test other aspects of a servlet
container  ( session processing, parameters, request dispatching ).

I would be very curious to hear some numbers. I'll try to reorganize the
file, so we can include data for other platforms ( I wanted to check the
evolution of tomcat on my machine )

Sorry about that, there are just raw data without too much info. 

>   Warm: 1000  -> run 1000 requests before the test ( to make sure
everything is in memory )

>   Test: 10000 -> the test consist of 10000 requests
 
>   Concurent: 1 20 40 80 -> I tried with 1, 20, 40, 80

"concurent" connections ( ab -c xx ) ( and up to 340 for tomcat 3.3, 3.2
can go that far on my machine )

>   RPS AVG MAX

>   20: 134 150 701
    ^ 20 concurent connections
        ^ Equivalent requests per second, as reported by "ab" ( by
dividing the number of requests by total time )
             ^ Average response time for a request
                 ^ Maximum response time for a request
