Erlang Garbage Collection Details and Why They Matter

Here is a semi-recent benchmark for Phoenix, which is written in Elixir (runs on the Erlang VM, BEAM). I think it will give you a decent idea of the differences: https://gist.github.com/omnibs/e5e72b31e6bd25caf39a

I would like to see this run with the latest versions of the various platforms, as a lot has changed since Phoenix 0.13, and I'm sure it has for the other platforms that were benchmarked as well. Initially, it seems like there is not a lot of difference between most of the platforms, but when you're working with variances of 1-2 ms on 180k rps is pretty substantial.

Would it be possible to update node.js to v4.0.0 and rerun the Express Cluster benchmark? node.js v0.12.x was slower than v.0.10.x, while v4.0.0 is supposed to be faster than both. Sorry for making this request if it's out of your field of interest, but couldn't resist asking :)

EDIT: My mistake, I thought you were the author of the benchmark
