Why is php one of the fastest on the database query test but one of the slowest on all other tests?
- JRuby is a Ruby implementation. Why is it listed under Platform? It should be listed under Language.
- Why are Unicorn and Gunicorn listed under front-end web servers? Unicorn and Gunicorn are explicitly not front-end web servers, but are meant to be put behind a reverse proxy, by design. The Unicorn author tells users very clearly not to put it directly on the Internet because bad things will happen: http://unicorn.bogomips.org/PHILOSOPHY.html section "Application Concurrency != Network Concurrency". It would be more suitable to put both of them in the Platform category.
Please add Phusion Passenger ( https://www.phusionpassenger.com/ ) to the benchmark for Ruby apps. Right now Unicorn is the only server in that benchmark for Ruby but it's far from the only available server.
the one thread issue is main problem of all ruby benchmarks there

Round 1 used Passenger, but the feedback we got was that Unicorn performed better so we switched to that. Currently, we're aiming to show each framework in the best possible production configuration. In the future we plan to show multiple web/app servers per framework so that you could compare Ruby on Passenger vs. Ruby on Unicorn.
Thank you so much for finally including the ASP.NET/IIS/Windows stack. I understand that it was a user contribution. This finally gives me something to compare the other stacks against. I realize that Windows/IIS and Linux/Apache|nginx is apples and oranges but it's still nice!

However as I explained in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5727232, Unicorn is always supposed to be put behind a reverse proxy. If you do that you should find different results.
Also, there's a lot of tuning in Phusion Passenger that can help performance. The default is optimized for usability and stability. For example if you don't prespawn processes, and let Phusion Passenger spawn them on the first request, you'll be adding tens of seconds to the benchmark time, which would greatly disadvantage Phusion Passenger in an unfair manner. You should set at least:
passenger_min_instances
passenger_max_pool_size
passenger_pre_start
