OpenResty is considerably faster than Node in the JSON serialization, single query, and plaintext benchmarks. It is slower than Node in the multiple queries benchmark, and missing from the other benchmarks. So, it's a bit more inconclusive than you describe. I'd expect OpenResty to be much faster than Node for a lot of common web interactions. Node has better support for interacting with external services asynchronously, though.
