Benchmark of Python Web Servers

“The specific domain of this benchmark is, yet again, the
PingPong benchmark as used earlier in my Async Socket Benchmark.
However, there are some differences:

“We will fire multiple requests over a single connection, when
possible, by using a HTTP 1.1 keepalive connection It is a
distributed benchmark with multiple clients We will use an
identical WSGI application for all servers instead of specially
crafted code to return the reply We expect the server to understand
our HTTP request and reply with the correct error codes

“This benchmark is a conceptually simple one and you could claim
that this is not representable for most common web application
which rely heavily on blocking database connections. I agree with
that to some extent as this is now mostly the case. However, the
push of HTML5’s websockets will provide us with lots of
highly interactive web applications that require a lot of
concurrent and low latency connections on the server side.”
