[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] wrecker - An HTTP Benchmarker

[Jonathan Fischoff]

hvr's comment on reddit sums up the issues well:

`http-client` is not designed for this use case. It's header parsing is too
slow specifically.

`wrecker` and `wreck` are fine in the 10-100 range for typical requests (30
- 300 ms)

`wrecker` can and will get better (possibly with uhttpc under the hood),
but if you have to sequence API together with processing between to profile
your API, `wrecker` is a great option because there is nothing as accurate
(that I know of) that can do that well.
