测试指令

# nginx 启动、重启
nginx
nginx -s reload

# node without JIT
node --jitless ./src/server.js

wrk -t6 -c400 -d30s http://localhost:8000/

因为 njs 没有 JIT，所以 node 也关闭 JIT 来测试

• hello-world 例子因为完全没有业务逻辑，可以看出 nginx 在请求处理上的性能是优于 node
• node 中把很多在 nginx + njs 组合中由 nginx 实现的部分移到了 js 中，比如路由处理，因此开启 JIT 后两者的差距缩小很多，但是依然落后于 nginx

• 对比 nginx-worker-1 和 nginx-worker-8 当计算能力成为瓶颈的时候，多进程的优势体现出来
• nginx 基建 + js-with-jit 可以做到和 openresty 一样的性能，按 这里 的测试 2倍 于 node
• 上述的组合于 openresty 重合的工作很多，但是实质的差别仅仅是使用一个带 jit 的 js vm 替换 openresty 架构中的 lua vm，从结果来看和直接做一个 js -> lua 的编译器取得的效果差不多

未来深入源码对比

目前了解的 nginx 知识来看，nginx 的高性能得益于它的进程模型，以及对内存的节约使用。而它基于事件的进程模型实际上和 node 很相似，而且 node 中的 http-parser 的实现几乎和 nginx 中的一致，这就说明在 node 中也是有意识的在底层（c++）控制内存的使用

所以需要继续从实现上研究为什么 hello world#nginx-worker-1 和 hello world#node-jit 之间有相当大的差距，既然目前确定 nginx + js 的方案因为和 openresty 无二所以没有轮子的必要，那么从目前 node 的层面，能不能、怎样才能至少在 hello-world 层面缩短其与 nginx 之前的差距
