That's not a good summary of what the function does. It does not just 
sleep. It does some I/O and CPU bound tasks. The sleep is here to 
simulate a blocking I/O call, besides the DB calls.

The whole function tries to simulate a real application, unlike printing 
'Hello World' - to put the stack under realistic conditions.

The multiplication is cached by the processor, but will still push some 
CPU work on every call.

Great, thanks for the update ! -- that's cool to bench the template 
engines, but this is still not what I had in mind.

What I had in mind was to try each one of the framework with an 
application that does things, and see how the whole stack reacts on high 
load.

But I guess we have different goals - wheezy seems really fast, congrats.
