Bindings seems to be very slow for a simple operation

The fact that you see a change when disabling write conflicts is interesting, as I would expect that to only have an effect on the network thread. Is your transaction definitely running on a different thread than the network thread (i.e. you aren’t running it in a callback from the network thread)? If you are on a different thread, then there may be some other interaction effect at play.

Yes, this is nodejs and we are calling bindings within event loop of NodeJS if we had networking layer working on the same thread… that would be so much worse.

There are no parallel threads at all, just two of them - Main Thread and Network Thread. There are couldn’t be any concurrent requests and also IRC C bindings must be called from the same thread that created them, so concurrency are not possible.
