Thanks. Are there any benchmarks available for Pharo HTTP servers? Is it possible to achieve a performance similar to node.js? I know the biggest selling point of Smalltalk is not perf but still I'm curious. The Concurrency book [1] says that Pharo's Process is like a fibre and is lightweight. How big is the stack? Java Quasar's fibers are very lightweight with a 400 byte stacks [2]. Can you have hundreds or thousands of processes running blocking IO without much memory and performance penalty?
