Am I reading this correctly? Looking at the benchmark code, Why not do a comparison versus the default Tornado setup, which is to fork one process per core? So STM Tornado is allowed to use multiple cores in this benchmark, but vanilla Tornado is not allowed to?

        http_server = HTTPServer(Application(),
                                 xheaders=True,
                                 )
        http_server.bind(port)
        http_server.start(0) # Forks one sub-process per core
