You must have a very low level of expectations of your fellow HN reader if you think that anything above a Hello World tutorial is relatable to a regular developer.

How frequently do you test a new web framework with "10MB compressed JSONs"?
On the other hand you can find a lot of benchmarks that use basically Hello World just to test your request response or some rather small request/response sizes, because this is what most applications actually do. You can add a simple database query to it for more realistic load.
So, yes, this is more relatable to me as a backend developer because I can compare results more easily.

I see the issue with your premise. I don't test web frameworks. I do real work <ducks>
I very much routinely look at large data sets. They just happen to be wrapped up in a different container than ZIP. Typically, they are delivered in MOV, MP4, WAV, etc. I look at a 10MB file and try to remember the last time I counted that small.

But you do do a minimal HTTP-free baseline benchmark for better insight of your comparison purpose of all things above?, no?

The test is for a web server, so you're optimizing for throughput on limited power, a static site would seem to be the best test.
If you want to test CPU load, the author should have tried Prime95 or some other similar test.
