I am a member of the OpenSTA user-group. OpenSTA already meets the OpenLoad objectives and more except that it is currently only win32. It is also written in C++.
As test automation goes in performance testing OpenSTA is actually a quite good and a very efficient test tool, and I say this as an experienced and professional performance tester. It can of course be improved in a number of ways, including porting to UNIX.
Wouldn't it be better to use your C++ skills in developing and porting the OpenSTA product rather than write a whole new one that does the same thing (basically)?
Is there any info on what its full feature set is currently?

For OpenSTA go to:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensta/
OpenSTA is for windows only. So I guess I'll use this until OpenSTA ports it over to Linux.
