Performance

Just a simple comparison with the Rust echo server implemented with tokio to get sense about May.

Note:

The Tokio-based version is 0.2.18(2020-04-19). In theory, future scheduling is not evolving context switch which should be a little bit faster than the coroutine version. But I can't find a proper example for multi-threaded version comparison, so just put it here for you to get some sense about the performance of May. If you have a better implementation of s futures-based echo server, I will update it here. You can refer to https://tfb-status.techempower.com/ to get the latest may_minihttp comparisons with other most popular frameworks.

The machine's specification:

• Logical Cores: 8 (4 cores x 2 threads)
• Memory: 4gb ECC DDR3 @ 1600mhz
• Processor: CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820QM CPU @ 2.70GHz
• Operating System: Windows WSL2 Ubuntu 18.04

An echo server and client:

You can just compile it under this project:

$ cargo build --example=echo_client --release

Tokio-based echo server:

Run the server by default with 8 threads in another terminal:

$ cd tokio
$ cargo run --example=echo --release

$ cargo run --example=echo_client --release -- -c 100 -l 100 -t 8 -a 127.0.0.1:8080
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 5.86s
     Running `target/release/examples/echo_client -c 100 -l 100 -t 8 -a '127.0.0.1:8080'`

May-based echo server:

Run the server by default with 2 threads in another terminal:

$ cd may
$ cargo run --example=echo --release -- -t 8 -p 8000

$ cargo run --example=echo_client --release -- -c 100 -l 100 -t 8 -a 127.0.0.1:8000
