Benchmarking about boost.http

[vinipsmaker]

As Glen Fernandes requested, it should be good to compare numbers against:

• cpp-netlib
• poco
• casablanca
• proxygen

[vinipsmaker]

Good details to mention, as suggested by Glen Fernandes:

• Attempted/connected
• Memory used (kilobytes)
• Non-paged pool
• CPU usage
• Threads
• Throughput (send/receive bytes per second)

Compare against ASIO HTTP examples too.

Other tools to aid in the test:

• Apache Bench (ab)
• weighttp
