I wonder how realistic/fair the code of some benchmarks is. I just took some small peak at atix (because I happen to know it) and while first all looked fine it wasn't quite that realistic. Mainly: - It uses a fork of tokio-postgres specific for the test (which differs in that Client is no longer send and it has a Unsafely soundness hole by wrongly using Unsafe Cell, and no Issue tracking enabled on, through replacing that cell with RefCell probably yield very similar performance) - Instead of using the default web::Json responder it uses simd-json (EDIT: explicitly encoding the data into a buffer instead of returning it wrapped in web::Json) - Uses snmalloc instead of the default allocator (https://github.com/microsoft/snmalloc https://github.com/microsoft/snmalloc) Just to be clear besides the first point all of this is not unrealistic for a context where you want to highly optimize your server. But not how actix is used most of the time. --- Edit: Also just to be clear I didn't nit pick intentional on actix, it just happen to be the framework I'm more familiar with and especially using snmalloc for actix seems to be quite a reasonable idea. EDIT2: The Unsefety unsoundness isn't triggered given the way this library is used, it's still there and would prevent this change from ever been merged upstream.
