It is indeed a web framework, and made for sys admins to interact with Cassandra, not for hosting millions of users concurrently.
And you're right: those are helloworld benchmarks. I was concerned a few days ago about the sync/async issue, browsing over examples on Telephus, Twissandra, Lazyboy, Pycassa... then I thought that Lazyboy is largely being used in production AFAIK, so I've just kept it in my mind. However, the communication layer for the web UI, should (and hopefully it will) be independent, in case we want to make this changes in the future.
