Web loading/stress with Torture. Working in Windows?

I found this fanstastic perl script for testing the stability of the web serves (http://stein.cshl.org/~lstein/torture). I´m currently using it with my webpage and my server, which runs in IIS (Miscrosoft).

I´m running it in Windows, using strawberry (Perl).

This is a naive question: in the page it says that works with UNIX. But if the forks (for testing concurrency) are made in windows (using strawberry), the script will work 开发者_开发技巧in the IIS server? This is: the information would be sent from my PC to the IIS server. The server would not need to be running in UNIX: is this right?

I tested on google, yahoo, but maybe there are running in UNIX, and that´s why it works.

If tested in Microsoft.com without forks, just plain: no concurrency, I get:

Transactions 1
Elapsed Time 213.66 sec  A LOT!!!!
Bytes Tranferred: 1020 bytes
Response Time: 213.17 sec
Transaction Rate: 0.00 trans/sec NOTHING???
Concurrency: 1.0
...

Why this results? Is this becuase is not running in UNIX? -guessing that MS run their servers in IIS, or smething like that-. If I tried to Fork, it takes FOREVER.

When testing in my website, the results are WORST.

What could be the reason?
