HTTP Verb parsing improvements

This repo is a fork of the HTTP verb parsing benchmarks by Wojciech Muła.

The benchmarks use the nanobench benchmarking framework.

Running the benchmarks

To build and run the benchmarks, just run make run_nb.

To ensure consistent benchmarks, it is best to disable turboboost and fix a frequency. You can do so on Linux by running python benchmark_mode.py benchmarking.

Also, it is best to pin the benchmark code to a single core. This can be done by using the taskset util on Linux.
