Not quite sure I understand your point re: the cost of the frameworks, above the bare standard library.
Do you mind breaking it down for me a bit please?
Cost in dollars or cost in hardware utilization or some other cost?

Knowing how much I'm giving up in performance in order to get the features a given framework gives me is an important consideration. Also understanding when it's worthwhile to work outside the framework on the bare platform given the speedup I'll get versus the cost I'll incur by doing so is a very important optimization decision-making tool.
See my "framework optimization index" in comments below for a rundown on all these ratios which I was able to back out from this set of benchmarks.
