The addition of the "realistic" vs "synthetic" benchmarks is very welcome, with "realistic" being the default. Hopefully this could help get things to a better state.

Still questionable as to what is allowed in "realistic" though. Aspnet core using a "rawdb" adapter doesn't seem like what I would interperet as "realistic".

Perhaps there needs to be a "marketed" category, for use as the docs describe. For aspnet core, this would include using entity framework.

Not much point in splitting the categories if it isn't a uniformly split thing.

It'd be nice to see benchmarks where: • Everything was implemented as documented in the framework's tutorials. • Realistic things were included end-to-end (payload validation, csrf (if applicable), etc).

Still seems like a whole basket of fruit comparisons here.
