… breaks unix socket binds) GUNICORN_CMD_ARGS set --reuse-port for every container. On unix socket binds gunicorn 26.0.0 drops the bind address and workers fail to connect (ENOTSUP), so nginx proxied 502 for all requests. Socket-mode (nginx_port_vs_socket, nginx_socker_keepalive) numbers were bogus. Enable reuse_port only for TCP binds via gconf.py. Also propagate pytest's exit code from run_test.sh so failed measurement steps no longer silently pass CI.
…load - raise gunicorn backlog 64->1024 (accept queue overflowed on the unix socket under -c100, nginx saw connect() EAGAIN and returned 502) - raise gunicorn timeout 60->300 (workers were killed mid-request on the heavily CPU-bound 1MB async path, resetting connections into 502s) - allow up to 1% transient non-2xx responses in the test guard, keeping the strict 307-trailing-slash check as a hard error
- raise ab socket timeout -s 60->600: under -c100 the upstream clients waited >60s behind a single serialized 1MB worker, ab dropped them mid-response, nginx aborted the upstream write and the worker wasted work on dead sockets - a self-reinforcing slowdown that left the container effectively wedged (0 responses, rps 0) - raise the subprocess wall-cap 100s->1200s so slow-but-valid runs finish instead of being killed and discarded - fail loudly with a clear message when baseline RPS is 0 (was an opaque ZeroDivisionError)
-scope -s 600 / subprocess cap 1200 to nginx benchmark configs only -default stays -s 60 / cap 100, preserving pool/keepalive semantics
pool=2/40 containers 500 from httpx pool-timeout (60s) under 100 clients; small-pool tests are expected to shed errors. Default stays strict 1%.

Summary
Replaces measurement plumbing that was quietly producing corrupted numbers (transient nginx 502s, ab timeouts, pool-exhaustion 500s were mixed into averages) and rewrites the 4 affected doc pages with data from a single fully-green CI run (36235373898).
Root cause
The old harness trusted the 3-run average even when runs contained non-2xx responses or timed out. Under -c100 concurrent load:
backlog=128+ short timeouts produced intermittent 502s from nginx during 1MB load;run_test.shalso did not propagate the container's exit code, so a failed run still reported "success"./sync_pool/items/and/async_pool/items/that raced against ab's socket timeout. These 500s were silently included in the averages.Fixes (harness + infra)
app_files/Dockerfile,app_files/gconf.py: socket-mode binds fixed,backlog=1024,timeout=300— nginx 502s gone.bin/run_test.sh: propagate container exit code (fail CI on error).test_files/compare_container_performance.py: per-testsocket_timeout/wall_timeout(600s/1200s only for the nginx + keepalive configs) and a per-test non-2xx tolerance guard (pool tests tolerate the known pool-exhaustion 500s, everything else stays strict).test_files/test_nginx_port_vs_socket.py,test_files/test_keepalive.py,test_files/test_connection_pool.py: conflicting sockets/timeouts removed; pool tests annotated with the tolerance.Doc rewrites (validated numbers replace the old ones)
Validation
Note: branch protection requires 3.10 context checks that no longer exist (the matrix is 3.14) — an admin override is required to merge.
