you are correct that there is a difference between concurrency and 
massive concurrency. one is easier than the other.

i think that we want to have the benchmark where we emphasis differences 
between languages. if we can test some thing 2 ways, i think we should 
choose the more difficult way, to get bigger differences.

why be gentle :-)
