After search in Google, we found some information about the webload compare with Load runner that

Webload transaction response times seem to be a bit higher than LR times.
Webload hits/sec is higher than the LR values and webload average throughput value is lower then the LR average.

The above test did not have any multi-threading enabled in the session options, so I repeated the test in webload with this option enabled with value of 5. These tests had 5 users running for 30 mins for both the tools.

Web load Vs Silk and Load runner

WebLoad is a load testing tool that has some functional testing capabilities. Segue and Mercury have seperate tools for functional and load testing. The functional capabilities of SilkTest/WinRunner blow away Webload, not even in the same league. But, Webload doesn't
really claim to be in their same league so...

SilkPerformer and LoadRunner can perform database and web testing. Webload can test web only. Even on the web side, SilkPerfomer can test multiple protocol implementations (HTTP, LDAP, FTP, POP etc) while Webload
only works with HTTP. (They say new protocol capabilities are on the way).

However, given those limitations, Webload is easier to work with. SilkPerformers programming language is based on Pascal. Webload can be programmed almost exclusively in Javascript. Webload also has a much
easier learning curve.

We ran some timing tests on both tools, and were able to get very similar results up to the saturation point of our T1 line. Comparing equivalent scripts, 2-3 pages of SilkPerformer code can be accomplished with half a page of Webload.

Both tools have greatly expanded capabilities waiting in the wings.

Basically, you get what you pay for. If you have a web app that doesn't use any advanced technologies, why pay for anything more than Webload. But if you absolutely, positively have to test every application in the room, then SilkPerformer is a better choice.
