Quote from page 102: "The data in the Table 6.1 assumes that a small amount
of data is being served (say 100
bytes)."

How relevant are these benchmarks?  100 bytes?  Apparently no database
access?  Apparently the response is produced entirely from in-line output
statements?

Properly structured Java applications normally involve a Servlet, a Java
Bean, and a JSP, and frequently a Session, to produce a response.

Most Net.Data macros evoke calls to the SQL language environment.

The referenced comparisons seem to be almost completely divorced from
real-life.
