Clean up file descriptors in Res.static

[shawn-mcginty]

I was able to get much better perf from static files. Thanks a ton @gtach2o. I also added a libev test suite and a vegeta load test suite (these will only run on master PRs). 0.1.1 should be much more performant than 0.1.0!

fixed in 0.1.1

I have tried with let _ = Unix.close(fd); and it did help.

@gtach2o great! Is this with conf-libev as well? I found performance to be much better with libel. You can make a PR if you’d like. I’m working on getting writing an automated test for this.

I will probably add a recommendation to install libev in the readme as well.

[gtach2o]

I can see you already have it in clean-up-fds branch.
Yes, I tested it with libev. The problem is the conf-libev depends on libev C library.
I think you need to add

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libev-dev

to before_install in travis config.

[shawn-mcginty]

I think i might run 2 test suites, one with libev and without, since it is optional. Thanks for all of the help with this!

[shawn-mcginty]

Actually i'll leave it open until this goes into master :-)
