## HTTP Router benchmarks -- Nov 29, 2020 with Go 1.15.5 on Linux AMD 3950x
##
## This benchmark suite is based on https://github.com/julienschmidt/go-http-routing-benchmark
## using the most up-to-date version of each pkg as of today. Each router has their own
## pros and cons, so consider the designs of each router to suit your application.
##
## *NOTE*: the memory reports below by the go benchmark tool look quite wrong, as there must
## be a bug somewhere in the go bench tool with the Go version I'm running. I will re-run
## with future versions and report back. However, in general you'll want to look at the "ns/op"
## metric, as memory to construct a routing tree isn't going to be a bottleneck in any router.

@pkieltyka HttpRouter memory consumption seems off? Same with Gocraftweb and Gin in some benchmarks.

@gerred lol yes, I agree looks super whacky, but that is what the go toolchain reported on my system. Looks like a bug somewhere in the benchmark tool. Feel free to post your results if you run it, I'll eventually post updated results and hopefully the memory measure reports normally.

⚠️This comment is not thoroughly verified or tested

The results of the benchmark show that HttpRouter is the fastest router in most cases. It also has the lowest memory usage and allocations.

Gin is the second fastest router, but it has slightly higher memory usage and allocations than HttpRouter.

Chi is the third fastest router, but it has significantly higher memory usage and allocations than HttpRouter or Gin.

The other routers are significantly slower than HttpRouter, Gin, and Chi.

The benchmark also shows that the performance of the routers can vary depending on the type of route being tested. For example, HttpRouter is the fastest router for static routes, but it is not the fastest router for routes with parameters.
