Hi,
thanks for all the great work on Hiawath.
Not sure how much improvements this would get hiawath, but the improvement over joyent/http-parser [github.com] suggests that parsing woould be the bottleneck for some time.

I should note that it isn't clear if the pico-http-parser will build on ARM platforms. Nonetheless it should bring it to your attention.

Exchanging Hiawatha's HTTP parser with the joyent parser is not something that's done easily. Hiawatha's parser contains all sorts of security checks. It would require a lot of time to find out if the joyent parser has them too and if it's worth the effort of the replacement. So, sorry, I'm not going to put time in this because my spare time is limited. But thanks anyway for the heads up.
