Re: Upgrading to V5R1

I'd love to do a load test.  Do you have a small CGI that I
could test?  I don't think we have the PTFs applied, and
don't plan to.  Just wait for V5R2.

I find this hard to believe since the tests I did previously
were so bad.  I could tell it was a resource management
problem, so if it has been fixed, I can see.

Feel up to providing a CGI (really simple, just returning
Hello World or something) on classis and pbA that I can load
test on?  50, 100, then 150 hits?
