Where is Varnish in this mix?

[GibbyBorn]

Varnish is slow as hell, see: http://todsul.com/nginx-varnish

And, yet, running the same test on my own varnish server yields 33k requests/sec with 50 concurrent requests and 28k requests/sec with 200 concurrent requests.

Something tells me that perhaps Tod Sul is doing something wrong.

Absolute numbers are useless. Different hardware will produce different numbers.
