I'm trying to figure out how to run these benchmarks on my own machine and experiment with some tweaks to the implementation, but it's unclear how to run these benchmarks from start to finish. I don't see any instructions for running the benchmarks in the github repository.

@calpaterson can you provide guidance?

I'd like to try an alternative query pattern. The current pattern implemented in the benchmarks is select 1 row in 1 query. I'd like to try an implementation with 2 queries - select count() from table and select * from table limit 10, which is a very common pattern for a REST list view. I would hypothesize that the async apps would perform better in this case, but I'm curious what this benchmark with show.
