You are putting forward some hypothetical results. I want to know, for
No I am not.
the benefit of the discussion, if you can prove the 5% figure you've advanced.
There's nothing to prove - I want to see the measure of improvement bundling provides on real-life applications. So far I have seen no facts on this, only on benchmarks - which is great, but experience teaches us specialized benchmarks behave radically different from real-life apps.
5% figure is nothing but other way of saying "I think the improvement would be small" - but of course, since I did not benchmark any, this figure and this opinion is meaningless. To make meaningful opinion, real benchmarks should be made. Unfortunately, I do not have any real applications working in "bundled" scenario. This is why I ask people that reportedly have this applications and benchmarked them, to help me. Answering "prove we didn't have them" doesn't help much.
