The benchmark we ran, and the configurations used were all made public
and the scenarios explained clearly, and even the tools (such as the
Java ApacheBench clone) shared. We requested anyone to help us fine tune
them, and offered to re-run them. We reported each problem we
encountered during the tests to the Mule team before we published any
results - but we did not get any responses to the issues. You can verify
these statements from

See my note about Rosss' own comments on Dain Hansens' blog about Mule
benchmarking itself.. its been over two years since then, but Mule has
never published any performance results, and this only makes one wonder
as to why?
