Provide better load testing #4

ab merely does a GET request to the path specified which doesn't fully test all the resources in that request (images, css, js, etc.). It would be a better measurement of performance if we rendered the HTML and pulled all resources.

What if we have the "master node" (Maybe we should call it the Queen Bee) parse the HTML for the URL provided and create a list of content that should be requested and then pass these URLs over to Apachebench so that we can have better results.
