[erlang-questions] Cowboy (Erlang) VS Haskell (Warp)

[okeuday]

To be a bit more accurate, when I hook-up elli to CloudI it shows that 
cowboy has better performance when doing the same http_req test with 
httperf.  So, it is likely that the benchmark (
https://github.com/yesodweb/benchmarks) could be faster with cowboy (i.e., 
CloudI is limiting throughput, probably mainly due to erlang:now/0 usage).  
One of the main reasons cowboy is faster is that the connection rate is an 
order of magnitude larger: 124.1 conn/s instead of 11.6 conn/s.  The 
throughput, for the curious was 12539.2 req/s cowboy and 11560.6 req/s 
elli.  I feel compelled to say again how httperf is not an accurate way to 
judge performance (see 
http://www.mnot.net/blog/2011/05/18/http_benchmark_rules), but it does 
provide a quick number to guess with.  There is more serious loadtesting of 
CloudI here 
https://github.com/okeuday/CloudI/tree/master/src/tests/http_req .
