[Catalyst] Catalyst performance under load

[Marcus Ramberg]

Hi.

We're using Catalyst for http://nyheter.abcsok.no/. We did perfomance
testing of the catalyst dispatcher when we were going to launch it,
and was able to produce about 120 hits/s without the search engine.
With Xapian we can do about 40 hits/s on a single server... The
application has performed without a hitch in production as well.
