My understanding is that the Xmonkeys are not nearly so amenable to embedding as node. There are some server implementations of older monkeys, though: * whitebeam http://whitebeam.org/ http://whitebeam.org/, which to my surprise appears to be not actually dead yet. * jaxer http://jaxer.org/ http://jaxer.org/ * couchdb But none of these seem to be low level enough to make a reasonable comparison. Flusspferd http://flusspferd.org/ http://flusspferd.org/ seems most like node, but using spidermonkey (circa Firefox 3.5, it seems, but actively maintained, so there's hope for future enhancements). Unfortunately, it doesn't yet seem to have all the handy web serving stuff that node has, so probably still not useful for a competitive benchmark.
