Do you mean at smaller scales? I’ve read many articles in the past that say that some languages for web application servers perform better / require less resources for the same performance than others but maybe it makes more difference at larger scales.

Thank you very much for your detailed reply! It’s interesting that they’re pretty similar. I had thought about that possibility of performance-critical Python libraries being being written in a system language. I appreciate it.

No problem, thanks anyway for posting your info!

Got it, thanks!

Thanks. Wouldn’t that depend a lot on user demand at the time this was measured? If the Lemmy instance was handling 20x as many users at that time it might explain much larger RAM usage, for example.

This is why I was hoping to be able to compare for similar levels of users. If Lemmy requires 32 GB for 200 users and Piefed requires 2 GB for 10 users, it could still be that Lemmy was more efficient.

Thanks. Do you know for how many concurrent users or any other measure of user demand?
