ANN: OpenLC 0.6

[Francesc Alted (OpenLC)]

I've released the first beta of OpenLC. It's version 0.6. It has several
improvements over version 0.5: run database is redesigned (now using a mix
of XML, NetCDF and HDF5), speed increase (up to 1500 trans/s in an Athlon
900), IMAP4 support, better and more configurable statistics, and last but
not least much improved documentation!.

If you're interested in give it a try, download it from

What is OpenLC?:
OpenLC is a set of software tools designed to facilitate benchmarking and
stress testing of a wide variety of information servers (such as web, email,
FTP, LDAP, databases, and so on). The package is built around a microkernel
that contains basic routines for benchmarking tasks, such as accessing
intermediate results in real-time ("spying" on run data), setting up simulated
clients, defining scenarios, handling database calls, comparing results
of different runs, summarizing data, etc.
