To be fair, that's exactly what the TE benchmarks are supposed to
show. The relative overheads of each framework/solution combination.

So if it show that Undertow is slower than solutions that are not
frameworks, then it's showing exactly what it is supposed it!

It is up to the reader to look at those results and understand the
merits of a full, heavy framework (like Play) or a minimal solution
(like Undertow) or a raw solution (like rapidoid) for their project
velocity.
