  So... run more processes on more machines.

  No. Generating 100K TLS requests will likely take dozens of CPUs, each
running at maximum capacity, just to do all of the crypto overhead.

  No.  Because the requirement is rather extreme, a more than a little
pointless.

  i.e. Q: What happens when I send my web server 100K HTTPS connections?
       A: it dies.

       Q: How do I generate 100K HTTPS connections from clients?
       A: post a link on slashot.
