Mcorelab - Mcoreweb bench numbers

Quick correction, numbers below are for Haswell with AVX2.

These are unofficial numbers, mileage may vary depending on your hardware.  Still pretty amazing.  With a low enough update rate I'd reckon one could get millions of websocket users on a single server!

test setup and some performance numbers of mcoreweb server (number reported are single server performance):
- server: dual E5-2690 with Intel 10GbE (X520).
- client:  multiple client nodes generating load, total of 100,000 concurrent client sockets/connections.
- server answer each request message with a response message.
- message payload size=64Byte, so the test is the raw message/request handling capacity, rather than limited by PHY -- our software can easily saturate 10Gbit with just moderate message size)

Windows 2012/2008-R2:
1). sample server implemented on the mcoreweb/TCPserver layer:
using 2 core on the server: 1.5 Million/second,
using 4 core on the server: 3.3 Million/second
using 8 core on the server: 5.9 Million/second

SSL (AES encrypted):
using 4 core on the server: 1.35 Million/second
using 8 core on the server: 2 Million/second
(If using Intel newer gen Ivybridge CPU, SSL performance is much better. here the result is limited SandyBridge CPU which is without the new AVX2 instructions.)

2). sample server implemented on the mcoreweb/websocket layer:
2 core: 1.48 Million/second
4 core: 2.56 Million/second
8 core: 5.55 Million/second

Secure Websocket (AES encrypted):
4 core: 0.95 Million/second
8 core: 1.99 Million/second

Redhat Linux 6.4:
1). sample server implemented on the mcoreweb/TCPserver layer:
using 2 core on the server: 1.8 Million/second,
using 4 core on the server: 3.4 Million/second
using 8 core on the server: 6.1 Million/second

SSL (AES encrypted):
using 4 core on the server: 1.13 Million/second
using 8 core on the server: 2.1 Million/second

2). sample server implemented on the mcoreweb/websocket layer:
2 core: 1.43 Million/second
4 core: 3 Million/second
8 core: 5.45 Million/second

Secure Websocket (AES encrypted):
4 core: 0.99 Million/second
8 core: 1.75 Million/second
