What if you ditch the OS and code the server on the bare metal?



The OS is very rarely the bottleneck.


Until it becomes the bottleneck.


This person is running node.js. I seriously doubt the OS is the bottleneck.


The bottleneck is gunzipping & deserializing a huge JSON object using a very slow language (Node.js).

This was attempting to simulate the type of load I see in the wild, rather than serving "Hello world" using C++.
