The thing I don't like about these benchmarks is.. they tell you which framework is best for writing a trivial 'hello world' application. But no one writes trivial 'hello world' applications. A framework/programming language/software package/what-have-you. Can be really fast for trivial stuff, but perform much less favorably when performing "real-world" tasks. It's kind of the same argument that's used when people say X computer boots faster than Y computer. That's nice and all, but I spend much more of my time *using* my computer than *booting* it, so it doesn't give me a good picture of how the computers perform. This is why most "good" benchmarks run a series various tests based on real-world use cases. -a -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
