@bascule See, intellectually I accept the point, but why are people going nuts over the performance aspect of Node?

@peterc the problem is single-threaded event loops do have great latency when they're not under load / contended -
@bascule So Redis is not good to use as a cache? -
@unders entirely depends on if you only have k/v and what your requirements around latency are, but in general yes -
@bascule what du you think one should use instead? Memcached? -
@unders for straight k/v, memcached or something like Riak might be applicable (depending on persistence requirements) -
@bascule Thanks! I just want a fast and scalable k/v cache; I think many people (me included) use Redis instead of Memcached for that today. -

@bascule what is your take now on context switching cost? -
@steeve I think@aphyr covered that well: http://aphyr.com/posts/244-context-switches-and-serialization-in-node … -
@bascule bookmarked. on Windows tho it’s quite expensive, which we why we used to avoid them and go for event loop

@bascule Nothing is ever straightforward and easy, is it? But that it doesn't parallelise well is understandable. -
