Yeah, this is why if you want to serve more than 200rps on a dedicated box you pick something other than Ruby in 2016.

Running what, a bare metal rack app returning an empty response and doing no real work? All requests are not made equal, which is why these RPS judgements are pretty silly unless we define the exact request.

There's the TechEmpower benchmarks for that though. And you can't deny Ruby is among the worst there.
