I've created a ruby script that calls the database as many times a possible in ten seconds, but I think all Im testing is how fast the Net::HTTP library can open sockets. I could reuse the same HTTP instance from ruby, but Im afraid that would keep the socket connected, which isn't accurate either. Any idea how to test a couch serve without a farm of clients?
