How to prove the erlang performance?

[NavTux]

I am very thankful to your response,friend you have listed out the
features or merits of our language just i would like to know how
erlang process? what is the erlang process methodology for client's
request?i mean what the technique used in erlang for HiPerformance? i
ll be very happy for getting the answers from you?
