=head1 BENCHMARKS

Benchmarking this sort of thing is often difficult, and I don't want
to offend anyone. But as well as being lightweight (HTTP::GHTTP is
about 4 times less code than either LWP::UserAgent, or HTTP::Lite), it
is also in my tests significantly faster. Here are my benchmark
results requesting http://localhost/ (the Apache "Successful Install"
page):

    Benchmark: timing 1000 iterations of ghttp, lite, lwp...
         ghttp:  8 wallclock secs ( 0.96 usr +  1.16 sys =  2.12 CPU)
          lite: 21 wallclock secs ( 3.00 usr +  3.44 sys =  6.44 CPU)
           lwp: 18 wallclock secs ( 9.76 usr +  1.59 sys = 11.35 CPU)
