If you know how long a request takes you can roughly calculate how many requests per second your server can handle ... When working in JavaScript/Node.JS one thing that is both sync and very slow (almost 1ms) is console.log ! So next time when running benchmarks, try removing the console.log's =) It's a mystery to me why we need millions of instructions just to put "hello world" in a pipe though. I'm thinking of learning low level programming, but I'm too scared of what I might find.
