On platforms without threads, this is as close as we can get it. I think the key thing with the farm is that the count variable is intended to be run in parallel not serial (unlike the count for a urllist which is implicitly serial). If we allow a farm to also be run in serial, then a test that can simulate 10 users by creating 10 threads on platform X, but simulates 1 user doing the same thing 10x as long on platform Y isn't good. So, yes, I think a farm must be run in parallel. =-) If that's not in the docs, then too bad. FWIW, I'm going to be spending some time on the flood site/docs tomorrow and over the weekend. Roy's added the subproject members (you and jsachs) to httpd-site, so you should be able to commit there now too. -- justin
