How is may-minihttp so fast compared to other libraries?

[DanielCoder834]

On the benchmark test result site, it shows that may-minihttp is the fastest web framework. I was wondering why that is the case.

While I don't have an aswer to your question (I am in the process of experimenting with my own implementation), note that may-minihttp is (clearly) faster than other frameworks in only 2 out of 7 tests - fortunes and single query; both of them are database tests. So, your best bet is that it has optimized its communication with the database.

What does fortunes mean? Also would you happen to know why ntex is so fast for queries and data updates? Also would that mean that ntex is better than may-minihttp in terms of speed regarding communication with databases?

[volyrique]

Fortunes is one of the defined test types. If you check the latest results here, you will notice that ntex is not faster than any of the other implementations, especially in the tests that you mention.
