This is a nit-pick of mine, but Mono seems to be always at the bottom of this benchmark: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

If you could share details on Mono tuning for server workloads, It'd be very interested.

Looking at the error count column suggests that the benchmark setup is just plain broken. I can't imagine the times are accurate.

After many of its iterations have been posted to HN with little improvement in quality, it's clear that the point of the benchmark is to tout certain languages like Java, so this is not surprising

I don't think this is fair. Is there a better alternative available?

There's the old favorite http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/which-programming-lang...

But it's down at the moment http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/shootout.alioth.debian.or...
