That said, benchmarks are lies, lies, lies, damn lies of course
A hyperbolic warning, to not believe the hype.
I like the move to zero-copy, though. I think that's the right thing to do. I wrote a Smalltalk zero-copy templating engine for an in-house web application server in the early 2000's. I think zero-copy is one case where it's not pre-optimization to plan ahead. We didn't get this far, but we could've implemented some buffer caches and put the vast majority of the templating stuff into Perm-Space where the garbage collector wouldn't have to touch it at all!
