[Seaside] Benchmark proposal

[goran at krampe.se]

Hi all!

Just wanted to mention that there is IIRC a bit of work that can be done
in the lower levels of Squeak web serving - at least if you use
KomHttpServer. I profiled and tweaked it quite a bit (2-3 years ago) for
fun and managed to squeeze out a substantial improvement.

After the first obvious bottlenecks I think it boiled down to header
parsing etc and now it is getting tempting to see if Exupery can improve
it.

Anyway, some day I might get around looking at all that again, if there
is interest.

PS. I also think benchmarking for pure speed is almost totally
uninteresting when it comes to Seaside vs Others. But a benchmark can be
useful when tuning and looking for bottlenecks. In real apps there are
almost always other bottlenecks to look at - like db access, proper
caching etc.
