I'll try running some more tests when I get some time, but I don't see why I would expect any different results. I might expect better results if 'ab' isn't competing with node for CPU resources. The only practical difference of moving 'ab' off localhost is whether the network card driver on the VPS server is dramatically less efficient than the loopback driver. Maybe it is, but it's likely insignificant compared to the work done at higher levels of the network stack (like, say, decoding http in javascript). This assumes that an unrestricted number of GAE frontends can pass through any amount of load I am capable of generating, which I take for granted.
