That's basically what I did. I use the nc command to send a request, and the time command to print the time that it takes for the request to finish.

Also, XUProxy is highly portable, and will run on just about any system that runs Python 2.4 or later and Twisted 2.5 or later. I've only actually tested on Unix, but there's no Unix-specific code at the moment other than startup code (there is generic startup code in addition to the Unix-specific version), and if I do add any other Unix-specific features, they will be completely optional just like the Unix startup code. The only real problem on Windows would be the lack of support for running as a service (if I'm not mistaken, programs have to use some kind of special API to run as a service, which is unlike Unix init systems that don't require anything specific of programs that they start).
