I'm using JSON parsing but not much else. No dependencies / libraries at all. Are there any steps I can take to provide useful data? Would anyone like me to run it with --prof and hammer it with 'ab' for example?
Here's the code: http://github.com/gcr/goggles
Any theories?
UPDATE: I should also mention, if you look at the charts, there's a point in time which the CPU hits 99%-100% and it's always reproducible. Once the CPU hits 100% I have just sat back and watched the memory get chewed up.
I'm sure someone w/ more experience than me can probably debug what's going on. The code is there, I really hope someone else can take a look at it. As my friend mentioned, it's reproducible, it can be fixed.
That sounds more confrontational than I meant it to, point if you just guess at improvements without testing them, it is still a guess.
I'd bet on Node.js and similar efforts for the future, but Erlang is a pretty nice system and well worth looking at and learning from.
However, I can't figure out how to run this. I have your toyserver.js (and redis) running, and I have client.html making requests to the server, but the server always returns an empty response. My redis db is empty, is there something I need to do to populate it?
