Siege & stress test

[servettonga]

• Use Siege to run some stress tests.
• Availability should be above 99.5% for a simple GET on an empty page with a siege -b on that page.
• Verify there is no memory leak (Monitor the process memory usage. It should not go up indefinitely).
• Check if there is no hanging connection.
• You should be able to use siege indefinitely without having to restart the server (take a look at siege -b).
