Call me when you can get 1 million concurrent connections using 1.3 GB of user space memory with ws.

Hint: at 500k ws consumes all memory in my computer and the GC stalls are constant. My system start to freeze and my mouse cursor is no longer responding.

I can have 1 million connections with uws at the same time I'm watching cat clips on youtube, listening to spotify and having my complete IDE up and running.

For 100k connections your own benchmarks showed a different story. Now I didn't try with 1 million and I guess it gets worse so I trust you but I can try with removing the upgrade request, the event emitter, etc from ws to start at least with a fair comparison.

If you don't like it, don't use it.

It's your idea of transparency which I don't like, not your project.

A million connections into the computer that you work on? Are these bot net connections, or do use your machine as your server?

[alexhultman]

I test the user space memory scalability by connecting 1 million localhost connections on the same machine.

Btw, 1.3 GB is for the Node.js addon - the native server does 1 million connections using less than 300 mb of user space memory.
