That's cool. Let's compare benchmarks and scalability. In my last position as chief architect of a startup in Atlanta, I ran concurrency and scalability tests until my eyes bled. My jaw hit the floor when I was able to attain 270ms transaction times on high-throughput requests to 250k simulated concurrent users. The beauty of Node in this regard is the event loop, which is the same reason why Nginx is vastly faster than Apache.
