How about we come up with a "benchmark suite" that can be downloaded and run in
one shot on various platforms? Given the variety of things that are being
tested, this might be too gargantuan a test, and perhaps a few things would
have to be cut from the suite. But there are a few things like EmbPerl, Mason,
SSI, Registry, static HTML, etc. that could be compared pretty easily by
several people on the modperl list.
Not that I'm volunteering to take on this project, I've got a lot of work
backed up through my pipes right now. =)
