Cutelyst on TechEmpower benchmarks round 15
On Valentines day TechEmpower released the results of fifth round of it's benchmarks tests on web frameworks, it took almost a year since round 14 and I really hope round 16 comes out sooner.
Since this round took a long time and was scheduled to be release many times last year I decided not to update Cutelyst to avoid not having the chance to fix any issues and have broken results. Cutelyst 1.9.0 and Qt 5.9 were used, both had some performance improvements compared to round 14, and thus you can see better results on this round compared to 14, most notably the JSON tests went from 480k request/second to 611k req/s, also due this Cutelyst release used jemalloc was again not used due a bug we had in CMake files that didn't link against it.
In this round some other frameworks have also done their optimizations and a few managed to do better than Cutelyst, even though we were faster in all tests compared to the last round. It might be even related to some OS tuning as most results seemed to went up a bit, however if you put the filter on "FullStack" frameworks Cutelyst is leading in most tests.
TreeFrog framework had results in TechEmpower long before I wrote the tests for Cutelyst, but due errors on TreeFrog tests on last rounds this was the first round where you can compare the results of two Qt Web Frameworks.
For the next round I expect the results to be even better now that we will properly use jemalloc, and our epoll dispatcher got a better implementation, I also plan to use Cutelyst 2 and try increasing some buffers as the servers have plenty of RAM that I didn't care on using.
