go-lua-benchmark

Comparing the performance of LuaJIT embedded in Go.

Handlers

Check main.go for details.

NotCachedHandler

This HTTP handler will perform a standard luaL_dofile (file read operation) on every request, this is the slowest handler!

CachedHandler

This handler will make use of luaL_dostring and the cached script data contained in cached_script. cached_script is set by LuaCacheScript.

GoHandler

The fastest handler ever!

Results

Using boom with the following parameters:

-n 5000 (number of requests)

-c 50 (number of concurrent requests)
