You are entering a complex terrain: web app benchmarking.
But I understand your angle: you are trying to establish whether Seaside is not too slow.
I once asked similar questions, but you have to explore on your own.
Optimizing a web app, especially Seaside, is not that easy.
Seaside is stateful, hard to cache and uses redirects a lot,
but it can be done.
But rest assured, Smalltalk is not slow. For the following pages:

Google Chrome reports:
2 requests ❘ 5.18KB transferred ❘ 53ms (onload: 58ms, DOMContentLoaded: 143ms)
You can read more about the setup here

And this is on minimal hardware.
HTH,
