forkload
========
+The forkload script provides rudimentary load testing for web applications
+(anything accessible through curl). This currently tests from a single system,
+so a significant bottleneck will occur due to the fact that a load test is
+running off of a single nic. As such, Forkload is intended for small scale load
+tests (tens to the low hundreds of clients, depending on your nic and the
+infrastructure between the testing agent and the destination).
-A bash script that multithreads load testing of a remote web application.
