I don't think parsing/validation offload has come up directly in a independent 
benchmark yet, although there are gains to be had. In the Sarvega case, there 
is an internal parsing/validation benchmark available from the web site that 
might be some use, I am sure the other vendors have similar information 
available.

One area to be careful of is the context in which the figures are generated. 
For example, the performance of parser/validation off-load from Java can be 
more dependant on Java<->appliance glue issues than the appliance performance 
itself. Needless to say, figures without specifying any context can be very 
misleading.

Kev.
