Subject: RWB, not quite an announcement

Explanation and disclaimer:
RWB is a web load/performance testing library currently being
developed.  It is already capable of supporting many testing needs,
but is not yet completely functional.


While I was puttering on the bus this morning, I implemented
graphing performance quartiles by URL.  It's not quite where I
want it, but I thought I'd toss out a quick example to see if
other folks liked where it was heading, or had suggestions to
improve it.

Total time for testing:  10.109162 secs
Requests per second:     98.9201676657274
Mean time per request:   104  msecs
Standard deviation:      68

The next release (0.3.0) which will include the above, should also
include GET/PUT specification, cookie handling, and a set_up
method to allow the test to log in, start a session, etc.

thanks,
