Brad,

Here's a suggestion.  Put a loop in your GU001RG program.  Within the loop,
include $CONNECT, $WRITE, $READ, and Close(socket).  Then submit only 10-20
jobs, but let each job request a web page 500 times or so.  I think this
will provide more HTTP-CGI specific load testing.  As you pointed out, 500
jobs is not load testing the web server - its load testing the entire
system.
