Why is it so much faster? Is it really that much better code, or are there some tradeoffs in the other ones that Elli approaches in a different way?

Less features... still isn't doing dates (which is a known slowdown in Erlang)... connection process because handler process...

Still neat.. what impressed me was some of the linked "helper" projects for doing stuff likes stats.

He wrote a custom webserver based on his very specific needs. It's not a general purpose solution, so not too surprising it's faster for his particular use cases.

It'd be interesting to hear about that in more detail - what tradeoffs he made to get that speedup.
