yes. quite a lot. In a multi-threaded server, as your concurrency increases thread context-switching overhead will become very high. Since Tornado uses epoll + callbacks it can handle thousands of requests. Performance Results for helloworld: tornado: 1414 req/sec tornado + web.py: 802 req/sec lighttpd + fastcgi + web.py: 354 req/sec Tests were run using: ab -n 1000 -c 25 'http://0.0.0.0:8080/' Anand _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
