Quoting from https://github.com/mafintosh/turbo-http:
WIP, this module is already really fast but there are some HTTP features missing and easy perf gains to be had.
On my laptop I can serve simple hello world payloads at around 100k requests/seconds compared to 10k requests/second using node core.
Should we consider switching our REST layer to turbo-http when the library becomes more stable?
