Node.js for non-web servers?

Node.js can be used for servers which are not web related. For example, this IRC server.

What kind of performance can I expect from Node.js in a non-web server role?

Is Node.js a good choice to build a general-purpose (non-web) server?

is it a good way to build a server of something non-web related?

Yes. Its strength is in DIRT applications (data intensive, real time).

I would like to know the real perfomance of Node.js

What does this mean? In what context? This is too vague a way to approach performance of any type. You need specific goals in mind for a project, and then you can judge what tool is right for the job.
