Rails Webrick: 153.9 Rails Thin: 33.3 Rails Mongrel: 90.7 Rails JRuby (glassfish): 3,350 JRuby Mongrel: 31.3 Snap: 11,309 Play: 19,796
Test Pong:
| Rails Webrick | Rails Mongrel | Rails Thin | Rails JRuby (glassfish) | Snap | Play! |
| 153.9 | 90.7 | 33.3 | 3350.5 | 11309.5 | 19796.3 |
Test File:
| Rails Webrick | Rails Mongrel | Rails Thin | Rails JRuby (glassfish) | Snap | Play! |
| Didn't test | 179.9 | 758.0 | 6146.9 | memory leak | 1617.9 |And hadn't heard of Play! Will check into that.
Also, just as a counterpoint to all this - as PG pointed out in his book, with Moore's law, speed of execution is no longer the limiting factor in most software development. It is programmer time and productivity, where (I'm guessing) Rails still wins this test. I'd expect that to be an ongoing trend. But of course speed of execution is still necessary in special situations, so this is still valuable.
