New Brotli module benchmarks for Nginx thread pools

Original: Brotli on Nginx thread pools: ngx_mbrotli vs. ngx_brotli

A developer has published benchmarks comparing two Nginx Brotli compression modules, ngx_mbrotli and ngx_brotli, when running on Nginx thread pools. The tests measure how each module handles compression under threaded I/O, a setup used to keep slow disk operations from blocking worker processes. The comparison is drawing attention among system administrators weighing compression performance against CPU cost on high-traffic servers.

Why now: Web performance engineers are weighing whether the newer ngx_mbrotli module offers real gains over the standard ngx_brotli on threaded Nginx setups.
