Yes, good point. I will see if I can change the test to do this.

Well, my original claim was that in a use case where we have has to
interface with other, non-XML data sources, query most of the data
in the document and perform multiple such queries, XML data binding
will perform better than XQuery. Michael asked for evidence and I
came up with this benchmark. I believe for this scenario the
comparison is fair since both the data binding and XQuery tests get
input information and send output by calling native programming
language functions.
