I dont get it how you were able to create something that is faster than the native runtime api.

What makes it faster than the native runtime fetch api?

The main source: Keep-alive by default.
Rock-req is light-enough to be almost as fast as the native http.request of NodeJS if an http agent is used with HTTP keep-alive.

Since Node19, NodeJS has decided to define a default keep-alive: nodejs/node#37184
But many NodeJS projects still use Node 16 and 18.
