The best I got was 258 requests / sec and 13.5 average responses / sec. The chart on the website plots responses / sec. So thin seems to perform worse. I'm guessing that we're running into the limit of 1024 file descriptors. I didn't test with the libev version of Snap, so my testing had that limit too, but my guess is that Snap is faster and manages to stave off the limit long enough to serve a reasonable number of requests. But I don't know for sure.
