Ah locust looks really useful here thanks. First up don't compare HTTP/2 requests vs. HTTP/1.1 requests. We deliberately don't have HTTP/2 on by default in So then... I tried your
Let's start by figuring out if we're ~ on the same page here. Here's a sample of the results I get there... httpx requests

Let's try to keep things really simple... import concurrent.futures
import requests
import httpx
import time
NUM_REQUESTS = 100
NUM_THREADS = 10
URL = "https://www.example.com"
print("URL: ", URL)
print("NUM_REQUESTS: ", NUM_REQUESTS)
print("NUM_THREADS: ", NUM_THREADS)
print()
# requests
client = requests.Session()
durations = []
success, failure = 0, 0
def send():
for _ in range(NUM_REQUESTS):
start = time.monotonic()
client.get(URL)
end = time.monotonic()
duration = end - start
durations.append(duration)
all_start = time.monotonic()
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=NUM_THREADS) as executor:
for _ in range(NUM_THREADS):
executor.submit(send)
all_end = time.monotonic()
durations = sorted(durations)
print("requests")
print("--------")
print("Total requests: ", len(durations))
print("Average: %.3f" % (sum(durations) / len(durations)))
print("Median: %.3f" % (durations[int(len(durations) * 0.5)]))
print("95th: %.3f" % (durations[int(len(durations) * 0.95)]))
print("99th: %.3f" % (durations[int(len(durations) * 0.99)]))
print()
# httpx
client = httpx.Client()
durations = []
def send():
for _ in range(NUM_REQUESTS):
start = time.monotonic()
client.get(URL)
end = time.monotonic()
duration = end - start
durations.append(duration)
all_start = time.monotonic()
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=NUM_THREADS) as executor:
for _ in range(NUM_THREADS):
executor.submit(send)
all_end = time.monotonic()
durations = sorted(durations)
print("httpx")
print("-----")
print("Total requests: ", len(durations))
print("Average: %.3f" % (sum(durations) / len(durations)))
print("Median: %.3f" % (durations[int(len(durations) * 0.5)]))
print("95th: %.3f" % (durations[int(len(durations) * 0.95)]))
print("99th: %.3f" % (durations[int(len(durations) * 0.99)]))
print()I'm seeing these kind of results... Trying out a few different combinations and the results I'm seeing seem ~comparable?... |

Okay, I will check again from my side. Also, make sure you run script multiple times for same values. Out of 5 run, it will not work for minimum 2. I am able to reproduce this on ubuntu ( github codespaces ) and local windows machine |

httpx.Limits(max_keepalive_connections=100, max_connections=100, keepalive_expiry=120), we can see fewer spikes, but it's still not as good aspython-requests. Average response time is still greater than time taken bypython-requestsObservations posted here
