I run a web server who's number one job is to add negative overhead to most requests (CDN). As an example of how much I care about overhread: a while back one of the biggest bottlenecks preventing us from saturating a 10 gigabit NIC when serving from cache was that our cache get allocated rather than providing a view into the bytes.

I'll probably still be upgrading. go1.8 has some nice performance improvements overall. Specifically the codegen improvements help in HTML parsing and image resizing.

If I'm still upgrading, I have to wonder how many people out there are pushing Go's net/http harder than I am?
