This is exactly the kind of use case we envisioned for Olio. Olio can be used not just to measure the performance of different types of web/app servers but also to compare performance across different technology stacks (rails vs php for example).
The one request I have is that if you come across issues, please file bugs at http://issues.apache.org/JIRA (under OLIO). We will try and support you as best we can but in return I would ask that as you learn more about Olio, please submit patches to help make it better.
