Yes, there are many tools, offering various tradeoffs, including:

* Apache "ab": Not designed for testing proxies but well-known and 
fairly simple.

* Web Polygraph: Designed for testing proxies but has a steep learning 
curve and lacks fresh releases.

* curl/wget/netcat: Not designed for testing performance but well-known 
and very simple.
