Benchmark served against other popular C++ http servers

[whoshuu]

Some good candidates for benchmarking against are:

• Casablanca
• cpp-netlib
• Boost.http
• Proxygen
• POCO

Doing a benchmark on a commodity server like Amazon EC2 instance would give users a good idea of how these different libraries compare performance-wise. Of course, you don't need to this yourself, just when it happens it would be helpful to be transparent about the results, wherever they're posted.

Hey @whoshuu, this would be great. It is on our TODO list internally but I'm tagging this as 'help wanted' since an independent benchmark would be more desirable.

+1 for the benchmarks. Also, it would be great to see some kind of architecture details (such as how concurrent connections are being handled etc.)
