[Phpwm] Load/Stress Testing

[Pete Graham]

Hello,

Has anybody had experience using http://loadimpact.com/ for
load/stress testing before? I've got a hosting company suggesting we
should use it for a current project. Personally I only have experience
using Apache Bench.

Also the hosting company want to load test on vHost on the live
server. The site is already live and load testing on the same server
as the live site seems like a bad idea to me. I'd be interested
hearing other peoples opinions and any tips/techniques on load
testing.

Thanks,
Pete
