Cougem writes "John Fremlin has released what he believes to be the worlds fastest webserver for small dynamic content, teepeedee2. It is written entirely in LISP, the world's second oldest high-level programming language. He gave a talk at the Tokyo Linux Users Group last year, with benchmarks, which he says demonstrate that 'functional programming languages can beat C.' Imagine a small alternative to Ruby on rails, supporting the development of any web application, but much faster."
hasn't this been done before? of course simplistic web servers in perl, lisp or even c are faster in a simple one page, one load, one user environment.
but when you put them into a live production ENTERPRISE environment they usually fail.

The code doesn't support concurrent users since it doesn't need to. Assuming the web server is operating at full capacity 24 hours a day and each query takes .1 millisecond to execute. This web server can support .1*10000*60*60*24=864,000,000 queries per day.
