yes I know that was coming :-) But the benchmark contains some mistakes.
Charlie (on that list) already pointed to me some issues, which we will
share here and with Trustin.

Yes :-)

I agree we should have something :-) Note that Trustin, when
"re-creating" Netty, has the freedom to innovate and change any API he
want. Something (at least with Grizzly) we can't do if we don't want to
upset all our users.

Community is also important :-)
