rorr, you appear to be hellbanned. Here's your comment, since it seemed like a reasonable one:

If you're performing a DB query on every request, you're doing something wrong. In the real world your app will check Memcached, and if there's a cached response, it will return it. Thus making the framework performance quite important.
Notice the top 3 frameworks (pat, routes and Gorialla) have almost identical performance results. The point being is that routing and string manipulation are relatively inexpensive when compared to even the most lightweight TCP request, in this case to the memcache server.
