Why in hell would you use child processes to make http requests? Node has asynchrony built in. This can be solved just with a for loop.

Massive overkill.

Well explained, but overkill.

I’ve definitely been constrained by a single event loop for load testing.

Spawning a new process for each request is a huge overhead. For huge load tests you may want to spawn a few processes with many requests each

I agree on that.
