That’s not all representative of Discourse 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 perf though. Lots of improvements in perf since Ye Olde 1.0.

You’d need to run your own tests @DrEmixam. [Spin up a Discourse instance in less than 30 minutes](http://blog.discourse.org/2014/04/install-discourse-in-under-30-minutes/) and test away..
