Six inference engines benchmarked on one RTX 5090 running Qwen 27B with DFlash2

The TensorSharp author benchmarked llama.cpp, vLLM, SGLang, NInfer, velox-inferer and TensorSharp on a single RTX 5090 32GB running a Qwen 27B model: plain decode peaked at 84.2 tok/s (llama.cpp), while DFlash2 speculative decoding lifted NInfer to 280.5 tok/s single-request and 488 tok/s aggregate across four concurrent requests (TensorSharp: 445). NInfer also had the best 32K-prompt TTFT (3.0s); llama.cpp degraded to 8.16s TTFT with speculation. Caveat: engines used different quantized checkpoints and drafters, and sub-5% differences are inconclusive. velox failed JSON-schema checks in all runs.
