99% CPU usage

- What steps will reproduce the problem?
running a test like
slowhttptest -c 2000 -X -r 200 -w 512 -y 1024 -n 5 -z 32 -k 8 -u http://testurl
-p 10 -l 350
Then monitoring sowhttptest CPU usage with top shows that usage start around
30% during the connections ramping up phase but when reaching the DDOs state
then i see a 99% CPU use and my laptop runs hot.
If i use a tool like cpulimit to artificially limit the CPU use of slowhttptest
to something like 20% it results in a same level of efficiency aka my test url
is still DOSed, indicating that slowhttptest may not really need to use all
this power.
- What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
tested with last release and last trunk on fedora 16 64bit. My laptop is quite
powerful, it's a core i7 sandybrige. When runnin slowhttptest the CPU
overclocks itself to 3.4Ghz in order to accomodate the 99% usage. If limited to
20% my CPU is able to stay cool and limits its clock to a more usual clock
speed.

in fact that the testurl is effectively DOSed or not does not seem to matter,
the CPU usage reach 99% anyway after a while and then stay there. For example i
have 0 connection pendind, say 1500 connected and the site still up, and the
500 connexion closed and counting. All the time the slowhttptest will stay
runing from there it's CPU usage stays at 99%.

OMG, I am sorry, seems like google code doesn't notify me of new issues
reported.
Indeed, with 2K connections CPU usage goes up to 99%. Looks like something is
wrong in the logic once server starts closing the connections.
Thanks a lot for noticing, will fix this in upcoming release.

Hi
tested today the last revision but it seems the problem is not solved :
- during initialization phase the cpu stays at around 35% and pending
connections ramp up :

- but after all 6000 connections are in pending mode, the cpu usage is now 99%
and closed connections start increasing:

- finally i reach a state where almost all connection whent from pending to
closed, it stays that way for a long time with cpu at 99% and target DoSed:
