Hello!
You should remove the line `multi_accept on;` from your nginx.conf.
Also, you should configure `accept_mutex off`.
Also be aware that the web browser may serialize your requests to
avoid flooding the web server. You may want to use curl in multiple
shell sessions to test this instead.
Finally, one should never ever block nginx with such intensive CPU
computation for so long. If one has to do this occasionally, they
should periodically voluntarily give up the CPU to the nginx event
loop by calling ngx.sleep(0) on the Lua land (this needs at least
OpenResty 1.11.2.5 RC1 though).
Regards,
