The browser-webserver delay resulting from long polling is much larger the frontend-backend delay. I think there is at least an order of magnitude difference there, hence an order of magnitude reduction is the amount of idle state kept on the server.
- RoboTeddy 17y agoYeah, I agree. For long-polling apps it seems like Tornado gives you a huge advantage. For other web apps though, the frontend-backend delay is comparatively more important, because usually there's a load balancer or reverse proxy in charge of buffering up data arriving from distant/laggy browser connections and hitting the web application server with it all at once.
