I didn't said that my benchmark is perfect, it is just a first step and 
also to encourage others to follow. Besides returning with such rhetoric 
as is yours I expected from Seaside community to follow my example and 
produce at least some benchmark, even that also won't be perfect. Having 
a least something is still better than having nothing at all.

I think it is honest to potential users of our web app servers to have a 
concrete info about strengths and weaknesses of each offering.

Best regards
Janko
