Late nights with HTTPerf

I have just been trying out HTTPerf against my Rails app, and, for some reason the reply rate I am getting is way low -- only around 10 replies/second.
I also wonder if there is a way to test pages that require the user to login first. My whole application centers around an authenticated user ... well, 2 am and time to go to bed.

One thing you can do is force a default user on your test rails app while you run httperf. And 10 req/sec sounds about right for a non-cached/tweaked Rails app.
