In these sorts of posts, I tend to find that flavor comments like the above:
a) add nothing of value to the post
b) are likely to provoke hostile responses (or turn people off from responding), actively detracting value from the conversation surrounding the post.
Thank you, though, for taking the time to write up your benchmarks.
