All in all seems like a well-done benchmark with lots of good data.

Note he is benchmarking TT performance as well.  Although I guess he  
is benchmarking everyone else's template libraries too.  To benchmark  
the framework itself, you should just send some static data.  I think  
with 5 FastCGI procs he should get more requests per second though.   
I'm not familiar with nginx to know if that has something to do with  
the numbers.  Will be worth benchmarking it with lighttpd as well.

Another interesting thing is in the hello.tt file he is not using a  
variable for the 'hello' string like he did in most other frameworks.   
Wouldn't help performance, though.  Also don't know if he's using  
Template::Stash::XS or template caching, since these are not enabled  
by default in View::TT.

I'll see about posting some benchmarks of our various engines with  
this same test data, including a fast new engine I'm working on. :)
