That's because your tasks are clogging the thread pool. It's currently of a fixed size and it probably won't come as a surprise that said size is 4. (You're probably wondering why. It's complicated.) There are two things you can do: 1. `env UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE=32 node app.js` 2. Create your own threads with uv_thread_create(). -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
