Since now I am releasing spludo pretty soon, I wanted to check out how performance is against other web frameworks for node.js.

I made a previous test for this already, running nodejs 0.1.98.

This results are against: nodejs 0.2.0. To keep it fair (and little expressive) I just took the hello world application from each framework and benchmarked those with apache benchmark.

Concurrency Level: 32 (was 256 in the previous test)

expressjs 1.0: 3497.71 [#/sec] (was 2744.79 in 0.9)

spludo: 3923.69 [#/sec] (was 3866.12)

The source code for all sample applications may be found at the public gist post.

The Test PC was a i7-920 Quadcore with HT and 8GB DDR3 RAM and a single node.js instance running.
