HTTP Connection pooling benchmark

README.md

Performance comparison

For a 100 requests.

$ ruby ~/s/bench_connection_pool.rb
       user     system      total        real
without  1.329350   0.059367   1.388717 (  7.018174)
with     0.222370   0.000000   0.222370 (  1.659621)

Requests with connection pooling take 76% less time than requests without connection pooling, they also consume less resources.
