I did expect SSR to be generally quite slow, but ~34 rps on the VPS is below my expectations. If I understand the blog post correctly, this tests an essentially static site with no DB requests. That would be pretty abysmal performance for something like that.

I'd be really concerned to have to work around a performance limitation like that in a more complex app.

We need a lot more details to make sense of this benchmark. I did a default Next.js install and performed an Apache benchmark, yielding a 2586 RPS for me on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (a low-budget laptop). Are we benchmarking the cache implementation, the JSON parser, or maybe the proxy configuration?
