Pipes, the open table being hosted on github would only slow things down once every one or two hours, right? (I guess I just got that one slighty slower request.) Considering the facts that a) my abovementioned results are flawed and b) YQL kicks multi cURL’s ass, it’s safe to say <strong>YUI’s performance is beyond impressive</strong>.

The other thing is that the open table is on github right now, which is not made for speed. I am working on using a joyent hosting solution for some of this stuff. @Mathias I deliberately didn’t show this as a demo as I am hammering my server quite brutally right now with all kind of things so the results will be very random.

Sounds like Yahoo!’s pipe really <em>is</em> fatter than ours. I haven’t tested this on my server, but I did run the script on <a href="http://isithackday.com/yqlspeed/" rel="nofollow">isithackday.com/yqlspeed</a>. However, I ended up with weirdly varying results! The third time I ran the test, I got this: <blockquote>Simple cURL: 3.31 multi cURL: 2.92 YQL cURL: 1.22 Executable YQL table: 3.59</blockquote> Any idea as to what the hell happened there? Awesome!

Simple cURL: 3.31
multi cURL: 2.92
YQL cURL: 1.22
Executable YQL table: 3.59

Any idea as to what the hell happened there?

This post makes me move that higher up on my to do list. YQL = great. After seeing Chris’ talk at Fronteers09 I knew I had to start playing with YQL.
