Changing the original plan. The script should run from a client host (not
the web server). I think one client host is enough to hammer the server.
Using multi-hosts will only complicate data gathering un-necessarily
Serving static pages is waaay faster. Just try it on a wiki/cms style
server. My 2Ghz CPU is at 100% just at 10 concurrent connections to joomla!

I had some that did not get captured for some reason (1900 and 2000)  also i
> was left with alot of top processes running


umm ok, will try to fix this
