I think the speed you see as a difference may be coming from how you're writing the data, node requires multiple function calls to do the writing of data (unless you use a raw tcp socket), tornado appears to just take it all in one function call, which takes in a string.

My point was not to say that Tornado is faster, but that his test is far off from proper results.

His tested showed that Tornado was 2x slower the Node.jsbecause he did it wrong, I actually find Node.js rather impressive =)
