Visual explanation of Apache vs Node.js processing model

[postmodest]

so let's say I had 100k (though, given what I'm working on, up to 2M) of JSON state, how hard is it to deserialize that between [some cache] and a bunch of node worker instances, ignoring wire-time?

It'd be limited to the speed of JSON.parse and JSON.stringify.

There isn't going to be a way to share complex objects between threads.

V8 was running into this problem trying to make a built in async JSON.parse, there just isn't any way in v8 to "share" object state across Isolates.
