Neat.  I like the integration with std.concurrency and the API in general
(though I too am still trying to get a feel for idiomatic D).  How does
23,000 requests/sec compare to, say, nginx's performance (which seems to be
the current performance king)? I just tried to look up some general
performance figures but they are all over the place and don't correspond to
your machine in any case.

I just watched the Go talk from Lang.NEXT and he uses Go's standard HTTP
library and it made me a little jealous. Perhaps this would be a good
candidate for Phobo's HTTP library.
