Hello Ryan,

First off, since I assume you sent this mail in good faith, I'd like to
thank you for sharing it.

Having said that, I'd like to clarify that your test is completely
misleading. You are comparing two very different scenarios, which as it
couldn't be otherwise, draw very different results. You are actually
comparing oranges an apples.

If you wanted to do the proper test, you'd have to perform at least the
following changes (there might be more, but since I do not know the
configuration you used, I could not tell you for sure):

   - Enable GZip
   - Enable Front-Line Cache
   - Optional: Replace "List & Send" by "Static Cotent"
   - Optional: Set limit to reused connections and log flush intervals

Benchmarks can be very interesting, and even revealing, when performed
properly. However, they can also be quite misleading when they are conducted
wrongly. In this case, you threw a few graphs that will confuse people -
basically because, as everybody would expect, they are supposed to be
comparing the same thing, when they are not.
