sudo uwsgi -b 25000 --chdir=/www/python/apps/pyapp --module=wsgi:application --env DJA         


        

Answer 1

Adding more workers and getting less r/s means that your request "is pure CPU" and there is no IO waits that another worker can use to serve another request.

If you want to scale you will need to use another server with more (or faster) cpu's.

However this is a synthetic test, the number of r/s you get are the upper bound for the exact request that you are testing, once on production there are many more variables that can affect the performance.
