... Sorry Adam but if you consider a collection of lose code 
production ready for D, then we have different ideas. ;)

* Not included into D / External maintained by one dev.
* Not "user friendly" / Documentation is ... be honest Adam ;)

I know Phobos politics have "issues" but its up to D to get their 
act together so people like you can contribute.

Its the most neutral and realistic benchmark for Web related 
content. When PHP with its bootstrapping fire and forget approach 
beats D by 50%, you know D has a issue. I am not including 
Swoole/PHP as a example. D needs to be closer to Go by its 
nature, then this low. Its just massive amount of performance 
that is wasted because of issues with the drivers and missing 
optimizations.
