Is anyone using a reliable Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP benchmarking suite? There are benchmark software for individual pieces but I hope there is one tool or several small tools that act together to give a picture of how long a request takes from entering Apache, to PHP, to MySQL and then back to the client.TIA!
The apache project has a benchmarking tool which is called "jmeter": http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/, which is a little hard to configure.
But there are browser plugins available with which you can record a walk through your website and then replay these walks (multiple different walks are possible at the same time) with defined user loads.
