> So what would be a better benchmark? It all depends on what you are trying to demonstrate. The current benchmarks would be fine if properly contextualized and presented a bit differently. e.g. for the first one, instead of representing it in request/second, do a breakdown of average/p50/p90/p99 latency over X requests. That's both much more interesting data, and much less misleading. Even the second one could be fine if used to demonstrate why an event loop can be the appropriate thing to use for IO heavy workloads. But here they are just included with no explanations, implying a blanket "we're 25 times faster than Rails".
