Json decoding will show up as CPU usage. Epoll to decide which socket to read is just one thing - efficiently using sockets also matters, hence my suggestion of communication pipelining.

GC will cost 50-100 instructions per object reclaimed AND 5-10 per object not reclaimed. Even if we ignore the latter, gc will can add 2x for objects that you don't do much with. And then there's the cache effects. Close to top-o
