Edit Question
Title
Body
I was reading a comment about server architecture. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=520077 In this comment, the person says 3 things: The event loop, time and again, has been shown to truly shine for a high number of low activity connections. In comparison, a blocking IO model with threads or processes has been shown, time and again, to cut down latency on a per-request basis compared to an event loop. On a lightly loaded system the difference is indistinguishable. Under load, most event loops choose to slow down, most blocking models choose to shed load. Are any of these true? And also another article here titled "Why Events Are A Bad Idea (for High-concurrency Servers)" http://www.usenix.org/events/hotos03/tech/vonbehren.html
