That's a great article. Thanks. Any chance you could update those benchmarks Martin? Would be nice to get numbers for the current versions and also include Hijk. I'd also be really interested in the results for HTTP::Tiny with Clinton's persistent connections pull request applied: https://github.com/chansen/p5-http-tiny/pull/30 (I think that might get merged during the QA Hackathon in March).
