+# wrk - a HTTP benchmarking tool
+
+  wrk is a modern HTTP benchmarking tool capable of generating significant
+  load when run on a single multi-core CPU. It combines a multithreaded
+  design with scalable event notification systems such as epoll and kqueue.
+
+  An optional LuaJIT script can perform HTTP request generation, response
+  processing, and custom reporting. Details are available in SCRIPTING and
+  several examples are located in [scripts/](scripts/).
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+    wrk -t12 -c400 -d30s http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html
+
+  This runs a benchmark for 30 seconds, using 12 threads, and keeping
+  400 HTTP connections open.
+
+  Output:
+
+    Running 30s test @ http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html
+      12 threads and 400 connections
+      Thread Stats   Avg      Stdev     Max   +/- Stdev
+        Latency   635.91us    0.89ms  12.92ms   93.69%

+      22464657 requests in 30.00s, 17.76GB read
+    Requests/sec: 748868.53
+    Transfer/sec:    606.33MB
+
+## Command Line Options
+
+    -c, --connections: total number of HTTP connections to keep open with
+                       each thread handling N = connections/threads
+
+    -d, --duration:    duration of the test, e.g. 2s, 2m, 2h
+
+    -t, --threads:     total number of threads to use
+
+    -s, --script:      LuaJIT script, see SCRIPTING
+
+    -H, --header:      HTTP header to add to request, e.g. "User-Agent: wrk"
+
+        --latency:     print detailed latency statistics
+
+        --timeout:     record a timeout if a response is not received within
+                       this amount of time.
+
+## Benchmarking Tips
+
+  The machine running wrk must have a sufficient number of ephemeral ports
+  available and closed sockets should be recycled quickly. To handle the
+  initial connection burst the server's listen(2) backlog should be greater
+  than the number of concurrent connections being tested.
+
+  A user script that only changes the HTTP method, path, adds headers or
+  a body, will have no performance impact. Per-request actions, particularly
+  building a new HTTP request, and use of response() will necessarily reduce
+  the amount of load that can be generated.
