That Node vs Rails benchmark is also broken for almost exactly the same reasons your benchmark is broken: It doesn't use cluster, and it uses the default Node.js "Agents" limitation on outgoing HTTP requests (which will only do 5 in parallel).
You want a real-world example? I ported a Rails application to Node.js and it got significantly faster. A real full-blown app. Everything felt faster to our users. That's the only benchmark that matters. I did benchmark some endpoints and they went from around 100rps to around 1000rps, but just testing one endpoint doesn't really matter - you need to get a feel for the entire app. Matt.
