I was confused by the numbers at first, so: that's 17k requests per second, spread out over 4 dual core Xeon (Haswell) machines, which works out to just over 4000 requests/s per machine. It's still a respectable number, but it's much closer to what one would expect given the task.

Don't get me wrong, the most interesting part is definitely the implementation and as a Go noob I found it very useful - it's just a bit misleading for the headline to sum your request rate across all parallelized machines.
