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.

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.

I've just done some testing with Dell's dvdstore tool. Interesting to say the least.
