The benchmark simulates several hundred clients hitting a (mochiweb) web server to read and write couchdb (json) documents. The system seems to stay -highly- responsive, 10x so compared to the same system not using NIFs at all. 

If low write response time is taken as a measure of system responsiveness then the first graph shows that the responsiveness of the system has increased dramatically. The write response here is the take taken to process a web request to write a couch document.
