Not there yet, but I love the idea, so I'll add it shortly.  How does
something like this look:

(in the RWB::Runner class)
warmup(num_times)               # this would just walk through the
                                            # array of urls and
url_groups num_times
                                            # times, making num_times
* array.length
                                            # total requests

rand_warmup(num_requests)  # this would randomly select urls to request,
                                            # making num_requests
total requests.
