I think in the benchmarks it's mostly bottlenecked by the 
database, which is why they improved so much in this round 
because of updates there.

If you look at Plaintext and JSON Serialization (not using DB) 
you can see that while there is potential for improvement, it's 
not as drastic. Vibe.D's MongoDB isn't the most optimized one and 
not really the focus and the Postgres one seems to always be in 
front but also that probably needs improvements.

I think the ones high in these text only benchmarks are the ones 
which extremely optimize for such plaintext cases. You can see 
simply nginx, the high performance load balancer / web server, 
being there with just 50%
