5% would not be bad. The real damage seems to happen when your primary
namespace doesn't have most of the classes that will be needed in a
real app. Then Solar will try to find many of the classes more than
once. Since adding precedence to a Vendor is one of the main reasons
to have namespaces, I think you should benchmark it using ('Domain51',
'Solar') for the namespaces array.

I didn't knew about ApacheBench, it's nice to know, will try it when I
need a benchmark. :-)
