@ashfame I spent a little time reading over these changes and haven't noticed anything specific to call out in the code.

IIRC, you mentioned earlier that performance seemed about the same as a single worker. If we can confirm that multiple processes are indeed handling requests, I am wondering a few things:

• Could this have anything to do with the express server?
  • How does its HTTP version compare with the faster reference points (like the Pressable example here)
  • Is it handling connections differently than Pressable (WP Cloud)? For example, are HTTP connections being reused or kept open or just per-request?
• Does profiling the main process show us anything?
• Would message passing between multiple workers(instead of processes) be any faster? Intuitively, working between multiple threads in one process seems like it should be faster than requiring the OS to coordinate multiple processes.
  NOTE: If we switch to multiple workers, would we learn more from profiling because we'd be profiling all activity for a given server?
