Using this benchmark: https://gist.github.com/2652991 nodejs beats Vert.x for example. People shouldn't be so quick to accept these half thought out microbenchmarks.
In any case even if it was faster, it wouldn't be an order of magnitude faster. That kind of a difference should be an indication that something is wrong with the benchmark.
So a quick verification. The io is the difference between these two. The JVM is doing some caching somewhere, whereas the v8 engine is not. Making a small change to both (in order to ensure that both are using the exact…
