There where talk about disadvantage of using Fibers because it has huge stack and consumes more memory.
I wanted to know exactly how much more memory it consumes and created simple test - it creates 8000 callbacks & 8000 fibers and you can measure how much memory each version consumes. 8000 Callbacks - 13 MB 8000 Fibers - 90 MB 1. Seems like huge difference? I don't think so. In most web projects (practically all classical web apps, like express.js etc.) you don't deal with huge amount of requests, maybe couple tens or hundreds per second. 3. Even in 10k apps - node can serve maybe 1-4000 on one machine, so, the difference would be much less, something around 12Mb vs. 40Mb. 3. It's an empty sample, in most cases you use some data inside it - it takes memory - and the results would be more even.
