Clarification about concurrency

[halorgium]

Is the server meant to handle many clients at a time?
I noted the vanilla ruby impl does not do this.

The purpose of the benchmark is to see how various platforms deal with a heavy concurrent client load, and the most important metric is a standard client's throughput against the server, measured in thousands of requests per minute, filtered down to the inter-quartile range to allow for a certain amount of volatility. The standard client is configured to have a concurrency level of 64 simultaneous requests, which is about as high as my laptop can handle before the OS X's networking stack starts melting down.
