What I don't understand is what the "untuned" case here is. You could stand up a Python JSON RPC server and simply "not tune it". That would be "untuned code".

What I don't understand is what the "untuned" case here is. You could stand up a Python JSON RPC server and simply "not tune it". That would be "untuned code". Presumably that isn't what's being described.
Is this some C code written by the author? Is it Apache? Something else? Is the point just how much faster native code is than Python?
- wmf 7y agoI'm guessing the "untuned" code here is C or some other statically-typed compiled language and it's not using any "framework". I guess the point is that straight-line Python code might be 10x-20x slower than C but an inefficient architecture can be 100x-1000x slower while being more complex than a good architecture.
- hedora 7y agoThe article goes out of its way to avoid describing the “untuned” setup, though the numbers look about right for a single threaded program without piles of frameworks and serializers in the way. Apparently someone else also built an untuned setup from scratch, and got better numbers. I think the point of the article is that if the results are surprising to you, then you should try writing one too.
