Why RPC is “faster” It’s tempting to simply write a micro-benchmark test where we issue 1000 requests to a server over HTTP and then repeat the same test with asynchronous messages. If you did such a benchmark, here’s an incomplete picture you might end up with: Graph of microbenchmark showing RPC is faster than messaging.
