Consider taking a look at OpenSTA.org for load testing. Its pretty good for free :-).

no please dont mention JMeter (admit, I should have done that). I tried it, and it was so pathetic that I went on looking, and ended up with Webtest.

JMeters test scenario setup is extremely clumsy, and the app is unacceptably buggy and slow... sorry to say that..

Hi,

However, I would like to use it not only to test my web pages functionally, but also with respect to throughput and behavior under load. I am therefore thinking of an extension that would allow me to specify the number of concurrent sessions to create, and some load/throughput-based reporting features.

One solution could be to simulate load with JMeter and test in parallel with Webtest.. I sometimes patched my Webtest so a timeout could be added for each task to be fulfilled.. But I have not tried the solution with JMeter..
