I like ab as well. Simple and tells me if my app can handle a load. Exactly what I want to know. I do wish it was easier to see what the failed requests looked like though.

I'll second this.

If you need quick and dirty this is THE tool to use. I can think of 1/2 a dozen times where this has literally saved the day.
