[erlang-questions] squeezing performance out of cowboy - how?

[Loïc Hoguin]

Works fine for me. Quick testing on my laptop with 'connection: close':

% siege -b -c 500 -t 5s http://localhost:8080
** SIEGE 3.0.1
** Preparing 500 concurrent users for battle.
The server is now under siege...
Lifting the server siege...      done.

Did you increase the maximum number of fd on your system? Considering 
your errors it's what comes to mind first.

This series of tutorials go through configuring this and tweaking your 
system some more with sysctl:

If sysctl doesn't do it, look at ulimit also.

If that's not it, check that you haven't modified the number of 
acceptors to some huge number that doesn't make any sense, leave it at 
around 100.
