In real world performance it doesn't appear to be that much faster than Bjoern, which you also surmised that Flask is the bottleneck.

Are there other Python WSGI frameworks that can take advantage of FastWSGI?

Why is Flask as slow as it is?

Since this is C, what security mitigations have you put into place?

In theory, any framework that follows the WSGI guidelines should be able to run on top of FastWSGI and take advantage of its speed.

There are many frameworks out there. I do intend to test out some more. For now I've only tested the popular Flask framework and a simple bare bones WSGI app.

Flask was never developed to be lightning fast. Even still, I am quite surprised at how slow it is now that I've seen what kind of numbers can be achieved. I haven't looked deep into it to see where the issues might be.

As for security, that is a work in progress... I definitely wouldn't use FastWSGI in production in the projects current state. It's still early days in terms of development.

Is it to do with the router?. I was reading this article.

https://www.slideshare.net/kwatch/how-to-make-the-fastest-ro...

which lead me to this code.

https://github.com/kwatch/router-sample/blob/master/minikeig...

and i was going to consider trying to benchmark different routers. I started a repo here which drops flask and uses some random router off pypi... https://github.com/byteface/fastwsgitest/blob/master/app.py

and i think i just need to merge that state machine router into it for a test. I believe it's part of the architecture for templating engine called tenjin that predates even jinja?

found your benchmark repo but not installed wrk yet to test.
