on-rev example: 'globals.cgi' conversion

Very cool, Phil.

And now it could be time for the benchmark wizard (Richard) to  
establish a standard for the routine posting of speed comparisons.  By  
that I mean CGI running on other host configurations doing exactly the  
same tasks.  The results could be posted or submitted execution times,  
load times, etc. (like Google Urchin).  Perhaps each site could have a  
standard test page.  I know that I have a few places to install a test  
page and submit a report to a central location.

My belief is that a few of my tech friends (non-Revers) would be blown  
away by the rendering speed.

The idea is to get several instances of real installations and user- 
level tasks.  By plotting the averages, this could yield strong  
evidence that changing hosts, then changing to Rev code would deliver  
a superior product

It would be cool if the test page included some of the 'tricks' that  
on-rev.com could do.
