I have 2 simple scripts which connect to NNTP server to fetch 100 articles (no writing to local disk) in order to test the performance of two frameworks.
I have found Twisted is faster by at least 2 times which make me surprised. I know it is not fair to compare two frameworks by this simple test. But I think 2 times is quite much. Therefore, I upload the code online to see if any experts can find any problem? Thanks. http://howachen.googlepages.com/nntp.py http://howachen.googlepages.com/nntp.pl >> time python nntp.py news.microsoft.com microsoft.public.access access.mbox 18 sec >> time perl nntp.pl 37 sec Any comments?
