# A simple benchmark of tornado's HTTP stack.
# Requires 'ab' to be installed.
#
# Running without profiling:
# demos/benchmark/benchmark.py
# demos/benchmark/benchmark.py --quiet --num_runs=5|grep "Requests per second"
#
# Running with profiling:
#
# python -m cProfile -o /tmp/prof demos/benchmark/benchmark.py
# python -m pstats /tmp/prof
# % sort time
# % stats 20
