> I find these benchmarks to not be very valuable.

It's interesting to take one piece of the stack and see how much abuse it can take, even if it's not necessarily reflective of real world behavior.

I am afraid such out of context benchmarks will do more harm than good.

I like what agentzh has done with lua + nginx. But his benchmarks are also showcasing how it works compared to other popular solutions. Check it out at http://agentzh.org/misc/slides/libdrizzle-lua-nginx.pdf
