I'm confused -- isn't Node.js's ruby equivalent EventMachine? Why are they comparing Node.js, an asynchronous I/O library, with a MVC web framework? I don't think this is a fair comparison unless they tell us the MVC framework their Node.js is using, and the server stack their Rails app was using.

Has anyone done a good comparison of Node and EventMachine (a couple of use cases load tested)?

Backbone.js would probably be considered the equivalent, though not strictly MVC.
