The Great Web Framework Shootout – On GitHub
From the linked blog post:<p><pre><code>  Do these results have any real world value?
  
  Probably not. (...)

Kind of sums it up. It's fun to play around with web frameworks and draw some bar charts, but <i>please</i> don't take this seriously. And definitely don't say "X is slower than Y" because of this.<p>Things like that always remind me of this great quote by Tom Lane (source: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Lane_%28computer_scientist%29#Humor" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Lane_%28computer_scientist%...</a>):<p><pre><code>  On idiotic benchmark comparisons "Try to carry 500 people
  from Los Angeles to Tokyo in an F-15.
  No? Try to win a dogfight in a 747. No? But they both
  fly, so it must be useful to compare them... especially
  on the basis of the most simplistic test case you can
  think of. For extra points, use *only one* test case.
  Perhaps this paper can be described as "comparing an F-15
  to a 747 on the basis of required runway length".</code></pre>
