var wrk = require('wrk');
var conns = 1;
var results = [];
function benchmark() {
if (conns === 100) {
return console.log(results);
}
conns++;
wrk({
threads: 1,
connections: conns,
duration: '10s',
printLatency: true,
headers: { cookie: 'JSESSIONID=abcd' },

}, function(err, out) {
results.push(out);
