On a really slow, in-order-execution processor w/ tiny caches and fairly awful front-side bus that's also all responsible for managing the network connection over USB?
The thing about Intel non-Atom level hardware is that Intel has spent a lot of money over the better part of two decades packing processors full of features that make all kinds of theoretically inefficient things run pretty fast.
This is not true of the Broadcom SoCs on a Raspberry Pi.
Good point. Go channels weren't nearly as efficient on non-x86 hardware. When I compiled my Go Disruptor port and ran it on my Nexus 5 mobile phone, I was getting about 9 million messages/sec.
