i don't hear anyone on this thread complaining that node.js is slower. we expect it to be slower and it probably always will be, although "always" is a dangerous word in computer science. my goal with this research is to get node.js to a point where it's fast enough that people have an option not to use nginx or ANOther static file server if they would prefer not to. i think without a huge amount of work we could get to 60-70% of nginx performance, which will be good enough for me, for now at least! ;)
