Here are my musings on the subject if anyone is interested:
https://github.com/marcusbb/chef-client-jmeter

There are 2 general approaches I took. 
1. Write a JMeter plugin calling instances chef-client
2. Wrap the Chef server api in some concurrency operations

Feel free to mock me :)  But I wouldn't mind constructive feedback either.

Ya been thinking about it, and I will look into it. 

It's even possible that I'll create the necessary concurrent and reporting features that I need in ruby. 

But it's likely I need a coordinated cluster of client bots to hammer the server., which JMeter provides. 

Combined with my comfort with JMeter and java I simply don't want to re-invent, rather than to bridge technologies.

Markus,

Would it be worth considering a Ruby load-testing framework? Alas, the only one I know if is: https://github.com/brewster/front_end_loader
