bench + www: real numbers — C tier ~9× faster than Python as worker host
Wrote examples/cuda-fanout/bench_tiers.py — spawns a worker per
tier, fires N TCP round-trips at three workload sizes through the
warm daemon, reports median + p99.

Measured on 3090-ai, daemon warm:

  workload             Python   C tier   C win
  small  (3 × 16 B)    1.27 ms  0.14 ms  9.1×
  small  (100 × 16 B)  3.46 ms  0.41 ms  8.4×
  medium (1000 × 16 B) 23.51 ms 2.67 ms  8.8×

Ratio stays at ~9× across the grid — the per-byte cost of
Python's S-expression reader/printer compared to the C tier's
reader. Justifies the LUMBDA=c default landed in the previous
commit.

asm tier worker starts up & listens (after the launch script
predefines *argv* '()), but bench script saw malformed responses on
this run — likely a write-to-string format difference between asm
& Python/C reader. Leaving for follow-up; published numbers cover
the tiers that completed end-to-end.

www/index.html bend section gains the measured table under a new
'Tier choice for the worker host' subsection. Replaces the earlier
hand-wavy ~10× claim with the actual measured numbers.
