When I tried typesafe reactive-scales template for load testing as given in in demo http://go.typesafe.com/scalability/show-off request per second remains at 120-130. Demo shows it above 25000. What could be the reason?. I am using quad core machine running windows 7. Available Memory is 12GB.
Received a reply from james(http://www.jamesward.com/) that it could be a windows issue.
The other possibility is that this is a Windows issue. I vaguely remember Play at one point not performing well on Windows due to something in the underlying networking stack. I'm not sure if this was fixed in newer versions.
When tested in EC2 on linux machine we got request per second in 20-25K range.
Thanks every one.
