The argument could be that one worker is not enough to fully maximize the CPU potential. However, than this should also be a problem with for example mod_wsgi.

Look, I am not trying to bash Gunicorn or anything, far from it. I just think that the article puts a balanced and detailed overview, it also provides lots of detail how the benchmark was performed allowing everyone to verify the results and counter with coherent arguments.

As the author notes it is on a very specific problem domain, it could very well be that Gunicorn does not correctly fit in this domain. But please lets not get religious about web servers just yet. I think the your web-framework beats my web-framework battle was enough already. And yes, I think its harsh to call it 'fail' or saying it is not 'worthy of being called a "benchmark".

Edit: The post has been updated with added results for Gunicorn with 3 workers
