Hey,

Amazing work by the way, very easy to setup and use!

I presume the bees are using `ab` to hit the requested URL. This is good for testing the response of one URL, however as we use Varnish - it's fair to say a single URL can handle a lot of req/s, as Varnish is soo damn fast!

What would be great would be for the benchmarking tool to also request all the assets on the page. I am not sure if there are any bench tools that will do this, I presume ab doesn't support it. Being able to do this would really help in being able to isolate varnish_miss requests for a given URL, as that's a lot closer to how real world traffic would be.

Any ideas / thoughts?
