Benchmarks + Threading model

[alexe100]

Hi! I am using onion in a commercial web service and it is doing great... As number of customers are growing i am worried about the used threading model (due to pull approach) and benchmarks (number of request per second). My questions are:

1. After compiling and running onion service, how can I check with threading model is being used?
2. Do you have some test benchmarks in order to give us a number of requests onion can dispatch per second?

Thanks a lot Great software!

Hi,

1. At run time you can check the onion flags onion_flags(onion) and check if it is in O_POLL, O_POLL, O_THREADED..
2. I have very informal benchmarks, normaly done with ab or wrk, but it is very specific to what do the handler do. A simple "hello world" is super fast, but normally your handler does a lot more, and normally there is the bottleneck, not in onion.

For specific numbers, I just ran the hello example and got 145016.35 req/sec on my Intel i7 6900. But it just returns "hello world" (with keep alive, 20 concurrent requests, not special care for stoping music not browsers...).

Thanks for using Onion!
