I love “Hello, World” benchmarks. They are stupid and meaningless. I love it when someone shows how fast is his web server on the local machine. 

Let’s see a comparison between node.js, async-sinatra and aleph all running apps on heroku free plan.

Node.js

============================================
Time taken for tests:   11.359 seconds
Requests per second:   704.26 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:        141.993 [ms] (mean)
Time per request:        1.420 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)

async-sinatra

Questionthe smooth-scrolling dont work for me; have you tried it and if yep, can you explain it a bit more? regards wactbprot Answer

The smooth scrolling using the keyboard means that when you scroll the file your cursor won’t hit the botton and then move, it’ll keep some lines above/below.

The mouse smooth scrolling is just an option to scroll one line per move.

(setq mouse-wheel-scroll-amount '(1 ((shift) . 1) ((control) . nil)))
(setq mouse-wheel-progressive-speed nil)
