Python 3's asyncio and aiohttp do the job for me -- I can crawl several times as fast as the article's 111 qps with just a single process. https://github.com/cocrawler/cocrawler

Of course, it matters what you're doing with the page content, and how you're managing your metadata, and all that.

Thanks for your comment.

You are right, asyncio and aiohttp is a great combination. I've used them both before. Though aiohttp cost less memory than requests, aiohttp does't support https proxy. This is the only one that isn't so perfect.

Besides , asyncio is something the same as concurrency of celery. I will have a test which one will have a better performance.

Thanks for your comment again.
