They are running Node with only one worker and are instead tuning the DB connection pool in that one worker... So the whole benchmark is bogus.

Author addressed this on a Reddit comment thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/fbu5tt/expressjs_vs_a... . The results aren't significantly different; Rust is still very much more efficient than NodeJS especially when considering memory utilization (and the hosting costs associated with that memory footprint).
I really don't think the results would be significantly different.

I tried to make changes and run his benchmarks, however the DB seeding is in Rust and it fails to compile on my machine....
