The beauty of performance tests (in a world of uncertainties) is that they define instant tangible value. See by yourself: http://www.trustleap.ch/ This server is also provably safer (less code, no buffer copies, no library calls = no buffer overflows). Regarding your article about optimizing Web servers’ code,

We have made a Web Server which is faster than all others:

15x faster than Apache
3x faster than Rock (webspec’s 2008/2009 winner)
3x faster than nginx and Cherokee
4x faster than Microsoft IIS 7.0 and ASP.NET.

The beauty of performance tests (in a world of uncertainties)
is that they define instant tangible value. See by yourself:

This server is also provably safer (less code, no buffer
copies, no library calls = no buffer overflows).
