"Hello World" tests really need to go away and be replaced by a concurrent workload that represents 100s of users accessing, writing, etc.
I remember a test that compared MySQL to SQL Server (Microsoft's SQL Server) a few years back.
MySQL had SQL Server beat hands down... For 1 concurrent user.
Once things scaled passed 10-20, SQL Server started winning.
At 30-50, MySQL could no longer respond and would crash, while SQL Server scaled to 90!
But everyone was wowed by the 1 user-load test! And countless posts were made over the years showing how MySQL is superior to the obviously flawed SQL Server.
