Write simple performance benchmarks

[cgay]

Would be nice to have a VERY SIMPLE performance benchmark just to get a ball park idea of where we stand, and to be able to detect gross changes in performance.

Could try using Apache Bench (ab)

I wrote a simple benchmark that does what required by TechEmpower's FrameworkBenchmarks (as seen on HN) (link to blog post). You can find the code here (Probably I made more than one mistake per line).

I run some benchmark on my notebook and this are the result, I compared with go because it was the benchmark that required less setup.

Could you submit that benchmark as a pull request adding it to examples/tech-empower-benchmark?

It'd be nice to re-run the results after that with a current HTTP server.
