Pharo and Seaside Get Faster
Phillippe Marschall posted some interesting numbers on Seaside optimation work:
After some optimizations in both Seaside and AJP I managed to break 8000 requests / sec with a single Pharo 1.3 image. Thanks to SystemProfiler I knew where to look. This is with a single request handler that just returns a two byte response. It doesn't involve any rendering, sessions, continuations or whatsoever but it kicks on the full Seaside request handling machinery with a request context and everything.
It would be interesting to see how many requests a more "normal" set of pages could handle, but this sounds pretty cool.
