And try to compare how this functionality would be implemented with your favourite language/framework.

We are using for measurement ab, httperf, wrk and siege, all of them. The most valuable storm created by wrk and it is not achieved in real apps but could show us the internal throughput of individual components. The most near to real life apps is siege who also make DNS lookup for each request. So this data shows internal data throughput by wrk:

To try N2O you just need to clone a N2O repo from Github and build. We use very small and powerful mad tool designed for our Web Stack.

$ git clone git://github.com/5HT/n2o
$ cd n2o/samples
$ ./mad deps compile plan repl

Now you can try: http://localhost:8000

LINUX NOTE: if you want to have online recompilation you should do at first:

$ sudo apt-get install inotify-tools
