A quick and dirty url benchmarking script. Needs a chmod +x. Alternatively just run it with ruby

benchmark_url

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# Used to perform multiple requests of urls for benchmarking
#
# @example
#   # Requests the url 3 times outputting times for each
#   ./benchmark_url 3 http://my.url.com
#   ruby benchmark_url 3 http://my.url.com
#
#   # Requests each url 5 times outputting times for each
#   ./benchmark_url 5 http://my.url.com http://my.url2.com
#   ruby benchmark_url 5 http://my.url.com http://my.url2.com
