Netty, gemini and servlet are all java server solutions without a thick framework layer getting in-between. What you can tell from these benchmarks in my opinion is that java (or rather the JVM) has the best "raw" performance. Frameworks introduce a slow-down factor on top of the raw platform, and different frameworks have different slow-down factors. You have to trade off developer productivity for performance when it comes to choosing frameworks. The slower the framework the more it does for you.

Gemini is a full-featured web framework. We've built it and maintain it internally. It offers caching (though not enabled for these tests), lightweight ORM, bunch of default handling methods and plenty of other features.

  I keep thinking this is a pre-advertisement for the future release of Gemini... :)

  So you did all this to tell us indirectly that you have the best web framework in existence? ;)

EDIT: this appears to be a different "Gemini" than the one I'm talking about here - in a comment below, it's mentioned that the tested Gemini is built and maintained internally. So the next paragraph is probably irrelevant. Note that Gemini is an OSGi framework built on top of Spring DM. For those who don't know, OSGi is Java modularity "done right" - basically a very loosely-coupled module system (which Java lacks) on steroids.
