Re: micro bench: FTL vs. GSP

Assuming the output from the FTL version is correct, it's certainly
more expedient to check with a profiler where GSP spends that extra
time. Anyway, since Groovy is a full-blown programming language, and
GSP is translated to Groovy (right?), I can imagine it comes with more
overhead that starts to dominate for simple short-running programs.

How many records are there in that HSQL database? What's if you
display much more entries? Just in case the HSQL performance starts to
dominate, what if you take HSQL out of the equation and use a plain
Java list?
