It is indeed a web framework, and made for sys admins to interact with Cassandra, not for hosting millions of users concurrently. And you're right: those are helloworld benchmarks. I was concerned a few days ago about the sync/async issue, browsing over examples on Telephus, Twissandra, Lazyboy,

I don't really consider any hello world benchmarks valid, you'd want to investigate what your implementation would entail in different frameworks and do mini-benchmarks to validate which is faster.

Well Tornado is light weight, it is it's own web server as well, so no need to run something like apache in front of it, and is a nice light framework. It's an eventd style process, so supports lots of connections very well, which would give you more flexibility is designing clients to work with it
