Just wondering, but has any performance testing been done on different socket.io implementations? IIRC, Python is pretty good, so I definitely approve, but I'm wondering if there are other implementations are are more performant (specifically, servers that have better parallelism and no GIL).
You still get the parallelism here, it just happens outside the language, by having Nginx load-balance across multiple application instances. The Puppet class, Upstart job definitions, and supporting shell scripts were all designed to manage a process group of rcstream instances.
