Some that follow this list might be interested in the latest release
of my httpserver - which is a port of the JDK one - designed for
virtual threads (no async, no synchronized blocks) at

It shows nearly 3x performance on the tech empower low-level benchmarks.
I attribute most of the performance gain due to it supporting http
pipelining, which I think should be easy to backport in the JDK
version. There are some other micro improvements that help quite a bit
for these types of tests. As it is, it is able to saturate a 1gbit
ethernet link.
Thanks for the post, it's interesting to this fork being used for
performance testing. As you probably know, the original motive for this
HTTP server was something basic to support XML web services callbacks.
Today it provides an on-ramp to web development with local testing. It's
also useful for other testing too, or just to serve up API docs or other
content. It's never been a goal to have it be competitive in either
features or performances when compared to other HTTP servers. Just
saying to explain why there hasn't been a interest on net-dev to add
pipelining or other features.
