Holy crap what kind of laptop are you running?


M3 at work, Acer Swift 3 at home. Both are comparable in that regard. You can do 200k QPS of actual work (a little protobuf parsing, a little old-school ML, handling the networking, a little HTTP1.1 parsing, ...), more if you just want vanity metrics, just by wrapping something like uSockets [0] and not doing anything to explicitly pessimize the system.

You can do better with a hand-crafted solution, but most projects don't need anything fancier.

Context is a website, so HTTPS requests per second would be the relevant metric.


I'm also quoting HTTPS requests per second.
