I conducted a performance comparison between Node.js and Python using the official OpenAI client, and the results were quite revealing. Node.js outperformes Python in this specific use case.

Can you re-run your tests with `node --jitless` flag please? It should be a fair comparison.

to keep the CPU in healthy thresholds I lowered the concurrency to 100.

   real 0m22.188s
   user 0m14.702s
   sys 0m0.449s

It's still a lot faster but less so, could you explain why I would want to run --jitless in production?
