As Joel explained, ab is a command-line tool for benchmarking server 
performance.
You'll find it at apache/bin/ab

man ab for the gory details.

If you just need to pound a page, ab is the easiest way. If you need an 
army of threads to step through a site, providing form input and some 
degree of timing, it might be worth it to learn Jmeter.
