> This is written in Python, and, looking at the core loop, yes, it really is Python, not Python wrapped around C or some other acceleration technology It seems to use a library clfparser to parse apache common log format logs; internally that uses Python's regex engine which is written in C. 6000 line/s seems incredibly slow to me for a C program parsing a log file. I'm seeing a lot or strstr's, strlen's, strdup's, and strchr's in GoAccess's parse.c, all of which are O(n) per line and, while fine in isolation, could be causing GoAccess to do quite a bit more work per line than just using an optimized regex engine.
