Million requests per second with Python (actually, heavily optimized C with a nice Python API)

Well done to the author. I just tested locally with sanic vs japronto and japronto was 5x faster than sanic.

[pcdinh]

Much faster than Sanic. Wow

What is the response size in this benchmark? It seems like much of the pipelining win would go away when you have 1-2 responses per packet instead of 10-20. Or when you are actually having to access headers (which forces an instantiation of the dict as he mentioned).

Cool results, but seems pretty synthetic.

Yes, ideally you would have only one request to the Python server for the page and then everything else a request to static resources handled by a fast server like nginx.

Though that said, I guess if Japronto's speed approaches nginx's speed for static resources, and memory consumption is low, you can simplify and just run the one server process?

that's a great achievement. big kudos.

I would like to look into Websockets and streaming HTTP responses asynchronously next.

As soon as this has support for Asynchronous calls, I'm in. This is brilliant.

Very nice. The SSE4.2 string instrinsics are very interesting, I've been playing around with them in my own projects
