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!
ab (part of the httpd package) is good at this for limited results (no cookie sessions things like that) beyond this, I usually use some mozilla/firefox plugins to record actions, and then 'play them' to stress the system. live-headers does this, though not enough to really test. I forget the name of the other plugin off-hand.
