Could you run mono --profile /usr/lib/mono/1.0/xsp.exe and then use a
tool (openload or the apache tool ab)? You should use a few 100 requests
(so you probably want to go out to lunch or something ;-).

If you could make a modified version of your program available, it would
be a wonderful asset for our benchmarking. Since it will be easier for
us to look into problems, you are likely to see a better benefit.

Thanks for pointing this out!
