Were you using the built in web server? I've been wondering about its performance in real world loads.

  Only partially. I lifted out the MIME functions and some of the threading functions. Probably the request constructors as well. It was also on a Heroku scaling dyno. In my testing, the inbuilt web server is decent, but starts becoming hit and miss around 10,000 - 25,000 requests/sec, depending on hardware. More than enough for hobby sites, but not quite enough for heavier enterprise applications. What you do with each request can have huge impacts, a colleague tried to lazily render templates, so follow pre-rendering best practices.

I could understand racket being slower than that, but surely it'd perform faster than the likes of flask or sinatra.

      It's about the same as what I get out of most things. Usually, this just ends up being the C10k problem, which you need some not-so-nice code to work around.
