Ah okay. Try Tsung, the Grinder, or JMeter if you have extra machines. For less heavy-duty testing try httperf. Siege and Apache bench are okay for basic testing. And always use a separate machine to generate load.

Basically it was a lazy io issue in haskell, fix was using a strict version of readFile for templates.
Hope it stays up now!
