It has not been my experience that web applications are I/O bound using typical architectures in Python. I think you would have a very hard time arguing that Node.JS is more performance than nginx.

- devishard 11y agoThat's exactly the kind of apps I usually write, and nginx is fast enough that the DB is typically the bottleneck. In rare cases I've run into CPU as the bottleneck for computationally intensive tasks. If I/O is your bottleneck, then that indicates to me that Node.JS is actually performing worse for you on I/O than nginx is for me.
