So, in the interest of full discloser Dave, let's make sure everyone knows you named a web server after me:

You and TPW named it "F U Zed" which to me is damn rude.
Based on that, I believe everyone should discount your opinion just from your obvious bias against me personally, but let's review what I actually did anyway.
First, I've got a decent laptop that's got 4 CPU cores and does pretty good running multiple processes. I think it'd hold up well enough for a few simple tests to make sure I didn't break anything. If you had read the blog post, I made this clear in numerous places, but obviously you didn't read the whole thing (or you're hoping other people have not read the whole thing).
Next, since I'm just testing the code to make sure I didn't break it, I just need to slam an older version and a n

ewer version. Since they'll be tested in the same way, it should give me enough data to know. Even though there could be contention on the machine, with 4 cores it should be good enough to figure out if I screwed something up. Additionally, Mongrel2 does aggressive caching of files, so I'm really narrowing it down to just the poll code by hitting a small file.
All that combined with doing multiple runs and looking at the performance between them and for an evening of testing I've done enough to make sure it's not broken. That's it. I'm pretty damn sure you did that when testing your "Homage To Zed named FU" but hey, gotta hold the people you dislike to higher standards then yourself right?
Now, when I get Mongrel2 to a state where it's a real web server, that I actually wrote, rather than stole from Yaws and claimed I wrote, I'll let you know. I'll make sure to setup a massive EC2 cluster and test all the possible permutations a guy like you thinks are necessary to prove that it actually serves files.
Until then, this will do just fine to make sure that I'm not breaking anything.
