I find the "little more than 1 second per request" a little suspicious.
I looked at the code in daemon.c and both the select() and the poll()
calls use a 1 second timeout...  I was wondering if there might be a
problem with that under Windows...?  Or is the 1 second per request an
expected latency for libmicrohttpd with client&  server on the same
computer?
Well, I don't know how the 1s timeout in select relates to your performance
issue (have you tried changing it to 10s and seeing if performance goes down
accordingly), but what I can say is that MHD has no expected latency -- it
should be "instant" (as far as your OS/hardware can deliver).

Now, 0.4.5 is of course ancient and various issues have been introduced and
fixed since (see ChangeLog), so I don't know if you're possibly hitting one of
those.

Ok. I rebuilt libmicrohttpd-0.9.6 and tried, still the same problem. I changed the poll & select timeouts to 10 ms, no change. I tried my python script with a local Apache server, and I get low latency.

But still, with libmicrohttpd, I get latencies that are slightly above 1 s. So I really feel, like something is still waiting for 1 s somewhere. I identified that the waiting is after my request is sent and before my request-handling callback is called by libmicrohttpd, but I don't really how to identify the problem...

Any idea what to do next to get libmicrohttpd to respond faster?

Thanks in advance,

Martin
