This is Jean-Paul's personal opinion on the implementation choices involved.  This is only really relevant if JP is going to be working on the performance testing framework directly or needs to interact with the WAMP bits directly.  If you're the one doing the work, you get to make the technology choices and, within certain reasonable constraints like "no PHP", I'm sure that we would be happy to run whatever performance testing system you come up with if it satisfies our requirements and has a reasonable API.

Well, we'd want to see something that actually works before officially standardizing Twisted on it anyway, but please feel free to share it early.  I guarantee you that we will not reject something simply for using WAMP :-).

This is hosted-service only?  Not that that's a dealbreaker, I guess, we are pretty sure we're going to move everything to Github anyway...
