slowloris mititgations actually weren't too bad, just a couple syscalls to setitimer(), sigaction(), and setsockopt(). Range header parsing was awful, so was content length. I'd say all in all, probably Range headers. Just string parsing in general is pretty awful in assembly.

Thanks for the insight. Yeah, hand - rolling string parsing in assembly sounds like a special kind of punishment. Great work getting through it.
