Yes, I am sure I am comparing cached pages, because I know how this product works (except for the developer details of the database cache design), and of course I know the difference of discussing performance of a page that is in database v. one that has not yet been translated.

I don't wish to get on your bad side, so I'll not comment further

Recently I worked directly with Amazon AWS on a CloudFront/S3 performance issue regarding "before" and "after" results for a website moving to Amazon AWS. We published the results.

In addition, I have a lot of experience tuning MySQL for our site, and can see numerous issues in the database performance before and after mods are installed. For example, a mod that uses blobs in the MySQL db table cannot be tmp cached to memory and must be tmp cached to disk, lowering performance .... etc etc.

As I mentioned, I want to stay on your good side, so I'll not comment further
