Hi! I have a question about coroutines. Right now I’m looking into building a load/pressure-test tool and I am using the ktor http client to execute like 1000 concurrent request towards another service. So far this seems to work out pretty well but I wanted to get some input from here if there are any gotchas I should watch out for

Right now I am just using the commonpool (at least in my code and if I understood it correctly ktor-client will do the same) and it feels like there should be some performance hit somewhere were I spawn like 1000 tcp-connections on only cores-1 threads?

Is there any reason you’re not just using vegeta?<https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta>
