[erlang-questions] performance of websocket

[Eric Moritz]

I made a dumb mistake at 3am on this table.  Those ms times are actually
seconds.  I've updated the table at this link.  Disregard the table in this
email.

If you look at the raw data you will also notice that the handshake times
for 2,500 of the 10,000 connections are greater than 742ms which is pretty
lousy as well. While none of the TCP connections timed out, 25% of the
connections had to wait at least 743ms to start sending messages.

Once the handshake eventually finished, the per-message latency was really
good compared to the others with a mean of 17ms.

Eric.
