me and my colleague, jordan christensen, had a need for apache bench to not report errors if the documents were not the same length since we were bench marking a dynamic page. with that in mind, we added a -l option to ab. this option takes a numeric value that indicates how much a retrieved document can differ from the first document retrieved.
