I've said in the past that they were unfair to Ruby because they were using their ruby server in dev mode which recompiles code on every access.
This time, I looked more closely at their 'Flask' setup. They are running Flask via gunicorn, so you'd think all is good. However, they aren't setting the 'worker type'. That means it's the default worker type, which is 'sync'. In other words, it's the same as vanilla python. They should have set it up with 'gevent' or 'eventlet'. And what do you know, they are running it in development mode as well. Flag 'preload' needs to be True in order for it to not recompile on every access. So, their setup as it is now, can handle exactly 8 requests at once, and it recompiles code at every run. No wonder it's slow. Nobody in their right mind would deploy their app that way. With my changed setup, they could handle theoretically 8000 requests at once, and it does not recompile at every run. I've submitted a 'pull request'.
