That is good. Then actual propper benchmarks will be remarkable.
However BEAM is not the only factor in this process. the entire hardware platform as well.
This is after all a lot about that nice and huge cpu.
I mean when you have all 5000 started why not let the do some work? Stress test it with a few real life scenarios for 48h and let us see some number.
