It's not just advertising. I've done the benchmarks myself. The performance differential varies depending on the length and complexity of the message. With simple messages, the performance differential is closer to 3-5x. As the length and complexity increases, so does the performance differential. One thing to keep in mind is that WASP has pretty significant initialization overhead. If you include the initialization in your benchmark measurements, you won't see too much difference in performance. If you measure after the initialization you'll see a much bigger difference.
