Having seen this kind of articles over and over in the past, I can't help but wonder why people keep on producing benchmarks to evaluate the capabilities of different servers/languages/frameworks/designs. Unless the person producing the code or setup for the comparative benchmarks is an expert in all the fields he's comparing and handcrafting every single byte to perfection, it WILL all boil down to respective members of said communities pointing just how skewed, unprofessional and unfair the benchmark is. There's no value to extract from such poney shows most of the time because it generally reduces complex concepts to mere numbers and metrics, with the additional task of managing to handle all the different setups, flags and whatnot in a way that doesn't create an outcry.
