📊 PicoServer Benchmark
💖 Test Notes
Test results are based on PicoServer in out-of-the-box state, tested on a laptop in balanced mode. Results are for reference only. Verified for high concurrency, low CPU, and low memory consumption.
💡 About "Developer Benchmark"
PicoServer publishes performance data based on daily development environments — developer laptops, battery-powered, balanced mode, entry-level I3 10th gen office computers, all zero tuning. This is not extreme stress testing in data centers, but results that any developer can reproduce with their own computer. Complementary to traditional "industrial benchmarks" (server hardware + expert tuning).

Key Highlights
- Performance Ceiling: QPS peak breaks 70,000 on Windows 11 local environment, excellent high concurrency performance
- Resource Friendly: CPU/memory consumption stays below 7%, memory around 16MB, drops quickly after test, no memory leaks
- Stable & Reliable: Zero error rate under high concurrency, P99 latency as low as 1.9ms
- Out-of-the-box: No additional tuning required, high performance in default state
