对ZeroMQ速度的质疑

都说ZeroMQ的速度很快，到底有多快？官方说的每秒百万笔交易速度，真有这么NB？这两天用ZeroMQ实现了一个交易中间件，可惜速度只有5000笔每秒的速度，为啥差距这么大呢？问题到底在哪里呢？

1. 支持的所有模式中，PUB/SUB性能最好，在CPU:E8400,内存1G的机器上可以轻松跑到每秒接近百万笔交易的传输速度。（PUB/SUB 底层使用UDP协议）

2. 所有模式中性能最低的是REP/REQ，他与速度最快的PUB相比，时间浪费可能有：

REP/REQ	PUB/SUB
TCP	UDP
生成UID	无UID
有路由信息	无路由信息
交易匹配	无需匹配

   IPC方式:

   所以在使用REP -> REQ模式下，最大交易笔数只能达到2.5万-2.6万/秒的速度

   如果修改模式为 REP->PROXY->REP模式，最大交易笔数只能达到1.2万-1.3万/秒的速度

   TCP方式:

   比IPC方式略慢，等过后有空做个详细测试吧，没有估计错误，应该相差10%左右的性能（不考虑网络差异，认为网络环境足够好）。

# Socket to talk to server
print "Connecting to hello world server…"
socket = context.socket(zmq.REQ)
socket.connect ("tcp://127.0.0.1:5551")
#socket.connect ("ipc://5552")

started = datetime.datetime.now()

# Do 10 requests, waiting each time for a response
for request in range (1,100000):
        #print "Sending request ", request,"…"
        socket.send ("Hello")
        # Get the reply.
        message = socket.recv()
        #print "Received reply ", request, "[", message, "]"

print "all done, take[", (datetime.datetime.now() - started) , "]"

while True:
