           Summary: ApacheBench missing core feature - "think time"
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.1-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other Modules
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: lnorskog@pocketthis.com


The 'ab' program is an excellent small-feature web testing application.
It has one small feature missing that we need to create an acceptable simulation
of a load: "think time".  This means that each concurrent sender stops and waits
for X amount of time after receiving its response.  (There are variants, but
this is fine for basic testing".

Without this feature we have to test 10 clients going continuously, rather than
100 stopping and thinking.  This means that while our raw application times are
clean, our socket & thread use is completely wrong.  The server kernel (Windows
2k, I think) is consistently 25% of our cpu usage, and without think time this
number is a bogus value.
