[Seaside] Benchmark results for Aida/Web

What I wanted to show is that a benchmark like this makes no sense:

VisualWorks <--> Squeak
- should it benchmark the speed of my machine?
- should it benchmark the speed of VMs?
- should it benchmark the socket implementation?
- should it benchmark the stream implementation?
- ...

Aida/Web <--> Seaside
- should it benchmark the memory usage?
- should it benchmark the response time?
- should it benchmark the maximum number of sessions?
- should it benchmark the scalability?
- should it benchmark the development speed?
- should it benchmark the simplicity to use?
- should it benchmark the optimization possibilities?
- should it benchmark the size of the generated html?
- should it benchmark the validity of the generated benchmark?
- should it benchmark the composition of the application?
- ...

Janko <--> Me (just as an example)
- should it benchmark the HTTP knowledge?
- should it benchmark the software engineering skills?
- should it benchmark how we implemented the login application?
- should it benchmark the optimization skills?
- ...

I am no expert in benchmarking. However I do know that for each of
these questions you need a special benchmark. The one provided by the
original poster does a fuzzy and incomparable mixture of all of them.

Cheers,
Lukas
