The reason I did the benchmarks was because I was talking to someone
about it, and he said "yeah, php sucks, but isn't CGI really slow?" It
isn't, not with D.

If you don't address request speed and scalability, nobody's going to
listen to the other benefits. Opening with a statement like "200%
faster" keeps their attention.

The biggest benefit, however, isn't running speed, but instead code
maintainability.

That's the plan. I'm hoping to write this up next weekend.
