I am learning Lift framework. I used project template from git://github.com/lift/lift_25_sbt.git and started server with container:start sbt command.
This template application displays just simple menu. If i use ab from apache to measure performance, its pretty bad. I am missing something fundamental to improve performance?
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\httpd-2.0.64\Apache2\bin>ab -n 30 -c

Are you running it in production mode? I found i had like 30 rps in devel, but over 250 in production mode. ( https://www.assembla.com/spaces/liftweb/wiki/Run_Modes )
