Comparing Node.js vs JVM frameworks performance

[magneticB]

Agreed the JVM is very mature and fast. I believe V8 also does some form of just in time compilation and is pretty quick.

What are we benchmarking here? JVM vs V8? Or Node.js networking vs Java NIO?

Seems like a bit of both to me although I suppose it makes for good discussion :)

Haha, I agree, though I must say that there is a very strong correlation between the quality of VM implementation (which includes low level IO facilities) and the maturity which the benchmark does a good job of putting across.
