TCP stack throughput

[Joel Reymont]

Matthias,

I ran your C server and I should say that I'm very unhappy with the  
results. Unhappy for Erlang that is. The test runs about twice as  
fast and I don't get any connection resets running 1000 simultaneous  
connections on Mac OSX 10.4.1.

Granted, I get 0 as the factorial result and the C calculation is  
probably way more optimized than the Erlang one but you can still  
connect at least 2 times as many clients as we managed to connect  
with Erlang on Solaris and 3 times the number I managed to connect  
myself.

I invite everyone to run the test and experience the difference.
