Check the reference client buglist, they got hit with a slowloris resource exhaustion combo. They fixed the resource exhaustion (kind of), they did not address the slowloris vulnerability. So again, you have no idea what you're talking about. Doubly so if you didn't write the backend of a major mining pool - because you're just running your mouth about code you haven't seen otherwise.

Are you actually saying that a bug in bitcoin is a reason that no cryptocurrency can scale to many times more transaction throughput? Why do ethereum and bitcoin cash work so well?

Did you write the backend of a mining pool and build in a bug where you wait for a block to be sent slowly? That's a pretty crazy mistake to just wait on a single connection.
