This file contains C code for UNIX  to stress test a Web server.  It can be
used in conjunction
with Lisp metering tools to improve the performance of CL-HTTP.  The
flogger works by replaying common log format log files and making requests
of a server a specified rate.

This tool was written by Robert Thau (rst@ai.mit.edu).  Further documentation
is available by scanning the www-talk archives.

If some finds the documentation, we should put up a page on how to use the tool.

Anyone who cares to do some metering work on the server can help us improve
the performance in terms of speed and consing on the various platforms.

Initially, we may find ways to improve the performance of the Lisps, especially
the thread packages and the network interfaces.
