Quick note that doesn't address the namespacing issue...

The "ab" tool is for testing requests-per-second through the server,  
and works one-at-a-time (you need to run "ab" multiple times against  
multiple options).

Solar_Test_Bench is for quick-and-dirty relative speed comparisons of  
coding algorithms just at the PHP level, and works many-at-once (you  
can have as many bench*() methods as you like, and each will get run  
in turn).

They both serve a similar purpose, but in different ways.

Hope that helps to clarify.
