And that is the problem. Some can not deprecate and die (see pylons, now pyramid). Some can not die nor deprecate (see django).

It does. There is certain level after which performance of `hello world` will not differ from real world application. The hardware I used got that limit at 22-24K per second. That is why I made isolated benchmarks. See difference between wsgi sample and others.

You will see. Thanks. supper => super ;-)

Somewhat later in a week there will be another benchmark for... caching.

Take care.
