HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) was founded to bring standards to database benchmarking, and the history of the TPC can be found here.

Every unnecessary bit of JavaScript code you bundle and serve will be more code the client has to load and process. On your first try, you can use it as a benchmark for optimizations later. How will you serve blazingly fast code, then? Active Memory Caching. Using the cache as permanent storage is an anti-pattern.
