"In practice nodejs might be faster currently just because V8 is very good" and I presume you claim PyPy is not so good? Well if so, I would really like to say [citation needed], especially for workloads and not say computer language shootout, which has little to do with performance of doing any actual workload.
- rdtsc 12y ago> and I presume you claim PyPy is not so good? Of course not, Maciej ;-) PyPy is awesome and thank you and the whole team you have been doing a great job so far. Just looking at performance graphs and speedups gained over the years. It looks very impressive. Yeah I don't have a citation but from experience, I have noticed where there are a few steps in each request processing (think proxies) solutions based event loops (epoll, kqueue and friends) can outperform those that spawn a thread/process/context. For example haproxy is certainly a very well done fast proxy, it is single threaded and it seems to work for it. Again sorry for misunderstanding, I was just speculating without any benchmarks or even particular applications in mind.
