title: gunicorn slower than flask development server
body: <p>My Flask application has a simple feature with a textarea where you input HTML and clicking on a button will strip all the HTML tags and return the text inside the HTML into another textarea, say Text.</p>
  
  <p>When I run my application with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>app.run(debug=True, host='0.0.0.0', port='8000')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it works very fast and smooth. But when I run it with gunicorn like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>gunicorn -w 3 -b 0.0.0.0:8000 --log-file=- myapp.app:app
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>after I click the button 'HtmlToText' it takes too much time to return the text value and the larger the HTML the longest it takes.</p>
  
  <p>Context:</p>
  
  <p>The button is a simple JQuery function that does a GET request to <code>0.0.0.0:8000/htmltotext</code>, that view get's the HTML as a querystring parameter <code>/htmltotext?html=&lt;head&gt;Hi&lt;/head&gt;</code> and returns a JSON <code>{text: "Hi"}</code></p>
  
  <p>What would be the reason for gunicorn being so slow in this issue ?</p>
