This is a good start, but only a start. Real users don't just type in random URLs for your site -- they follow a path. They might hit your site at one URL, then follow a link to another page, then a link to yet another page, and so on.
There are tools to help better simulate the type of load that might be caused by real users, and I'd love to see a follow on article that continues this example with those methods.
