SimonHF's Blog is a personal blog at simonhf.wordpress.com about programming and systems. Since 2010, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 11 times, most often “G-WAN almost *twice* as slow as libsxe using G-WAN's own benchmarking tool”. The last post was in 2012, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link SimonHF's posts about sxe, an event-driven programming project with examples on GitHub, and a benchmark post comparing sxe with G-WAN. The comments cite these posts as sources.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionCompanies that speak about certainty and their server being the fastest, need to take the time to make sure it is. http://simonhf.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/g-wan-versus-sxe-hel... is a benchmark showing sxe, using gwan's benchmark code, as outperforming gwan 1.8x. Years ago, there were two very fast servers - Zeus and Tux. Tux was a kernel mode accelerator that avoided context switches and Zeus was the de-facto stand…
