[Seaside] Upload speeds with Comanche

[Janko Mivšek]

Hi Patrick,

Just for comparison, recently I measured Swazoo 2.0 performance on 
Squeak and VW and achieved  230KB/sec download on Squeak and 3MB/sec on 
VW. For upload I achieved also 3MB/sec on VW, so I expect same 230KB/sec 
on Squeak. In all cases a streaming directly to/from a file was used.

To compare with your results: 5MB upload/download would take 22s on 
Squeak and 1.6s on VW.

Measurements were done on Linux, 3.2GHz CPU, 2GB ram.

Best regards
JAnko
