To me the interesting part is when you can read the benchmark source code and learn about a high performance feature for the framework or language you’re already using. That’s happened a few times for me with Go, for example. I hope more high performance enhancements are added even for frameworks that would appear near the bottom. That’s what keeps this relevant to me. :) Well, that and knowing roughly what the performance ceiling is for raw socket HTTP in various languages ;-)
