Just an FYI, but Node.js needs to load the V8 engine for each process. So each process is at least 10MB, which compared to pretty much every other language, is pretty heavy.
- koenigdavidmj 14y agoNot entirely sure, but it is possible that V8 is dynamically linked, and thus you would only get the 10MB hit once. Any experts around to confirm or deny that?
- Yaggo 14y agoIn the other hand, due to Node.js' asynchronous nature, single process (thread) can serve big number of simultaneous clients, assuming the code is non-blocking.
