Great!

I was planning to run the benchmark on my laptop (Intrepid amd64). 

The benchmark consists of running apachebench with concurrency 100
against a page that should return an HTTP body of "<h1>Hello $name</h1>". The
"name" parameter is given as part of the GET request, and should be
correctly escaped (if it contains < characters, etc.).

The objective of the test is to show how fast a very simple dynamic page
can be, without worrying about databases.
