Performance of Flask, Tornado, GEvent, and their combinations

Wensheng Wang, 10/1/11

Source: http://blog.wensheng.org/2011/10/performance-of-flask-tornado-gevent-and.html

When choosing a web framework, I pretty much have eyes set on Tornado. But I heard good things about Flask and Gevent. So I tested the performance of each and combinations of the three. I chose something just a little more advanced than a "Hello World" program to write - one that use templates. Here are the codes:

1, Pure Flask (pure_flask.py)

$ vi /etc/sysctl.conf
# 系统所有进程一共可以打开的文件数量, 每个套接字也占用一个文件描述字
fs.file-max = 1491124
# 系统同时保持TIME_WAIT套接字的最大数目,http 短链接会产生很多 TIME_WAIT 套接字。
net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets = 7000
# 关闭 tcp 来源跟踪
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
# 缩短套接字处于 TIME_WAIT 的时间, 60s -> 30s
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 30
# 启用 TIME_WAIT 复用,使得结束 TIEM_WAIT 状态的套接字的端口可以立刻被其他套接字使用。
