Sean, I am in complete agreement with you that the major benefit to using MachII will be a reduction in the cost of maintaining an application over time. I also see the language agnostic aspects of MachII being a big part of its value proposition, and a wonderful one for shops that are not necessarily standardized on a single technology. Or couse, performance should be an important initial factor in the decision to adopt a framework for a project, especially in the case of a high volume Web application. The cost to maintain an application is meaningless if a project is so slow under load that no one can stand to use it. While I don't see anyone making a concurrent joint migration to FB4 and MachII except as an academic exercise, I do think performance comparisons will come out as people start moving applications into MachII.
