One main thing I found missing was the OS that the tests were run on. I am not even sure if Windows can be seen as intended OS for node.js. Was the comparison between .NET on Windows vs Node.js on Windows? That might not be fair on the node.js side.

PS: I am a .NET fan, so I want fair comparisons, if I were to use them :)

I've run a few small test to see how Windows and Linux implementations of Node compare and Windows came on top every time. I think Microsoft put a lot of effort into a proper port, using Windows excellent I/O Completion Ports. Plus I don't think Google could ignore Windows performance when developing V8.
