The last part of your post caught my eye, @josevalim , (I haven’t managed to resolve the issue yet, the closest I’ve gotten is 160k using elli with raw erlang. I plan to try and tackle this again on the weekend).
I installed erlang both from “kerl” (on fedora23) and from the erlang-solutions package repo on Ubuntu. Are there additional optimizations of erlang that people don’t get out of the box that can be compiled in? I didn’t set any flags during the installation with kerl, just whatever the defaults were.
