Does anyone know if the 60.000 in the chart means 60 or 60,000?

It's from Phusion[1], which is headquartered in the Netherlands. Non-English Europe conventionally uses . as a digit separator, so 60.000 would be sixty thousand.

If it's the Passenger guys then 60.000 is how you write 60,000 in the Netherlands ;)

I was thinking the same thing. 60 reqs/sec is not very fast. I suppose it depends on what is being tested. "Hello World" is pretty useless to base a benchmark on as DB and other IO is not involved. Who knows what that number means without some source code it was benchmarking.
