Benchmarking wishlist

[tylerjl]

I've had lots of feedback since publishing my findings so I'm collecting all of those suggestions here for later reference:

• [ ] Benchmarks with logging enabled
• [ ] Varying quantities of response headers
• [ ] Dramatically boost the number of nginx connection workers
• [ ] Reduce potential noise in results through use of bare-metal systems under test

What about

• HTTP gzip compressed tests instead of non-compressed?
• Also testing their HTTPS handling i.e. HTTP/2 for various SSL configs i.e. RSA 2048bit vs ECDSA 256bit SSL certificate/ciphers?

Thank you for your excellent Benchmark.
May I add HAProxy to the whitelist as HAProxy is by default and in his "DNA" a reverse proxy :smile:.

Note: I'm a long term HAProxy contributor and nginx user so maybe I'm biased :thinking:
