Of course. It's not about showing some absolute numbers that users can expect. It's just about showing the potential overhead of a full Rails app vs Rails::API. I'd think this would be a reason why people would chose Rails::API over just Rails.

The README itself says Rails::API is faster, so not sure why a simple benchmark to back that up isn't a good idea.

edit: It really boils down to another way to visualize the overhead vs just listing what's been removed.
