RE: More AS/400 Web server Load Testing Results

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I thought about that, but then I'm bandaiding my open source.  ;)
Maybe instead of using GETURI in my load tester, I build it right into my
load tester using the GU001RG source.  Sounds even better.  But then the
magic of reuable code goes away.  <bg>
