It's entirely possible that WAI/enumerators/builder/Warp is adding some overhead. But what exactly are you comparing against? Warp is *definitely* doing some extra stuff that a simple Data.ByteString.hPut is not, such as timeout handling. I'd be interested in any numbers

Silly of me, I should have explained properly: I'm comparing against a simple monadic HTTP server using the "HTTP" module for parsing/rendering requests and response headers (so regular Strings) and simple (strict) bytestring output in the IO monad. Socket operations were handled using the network/network-bytestring packages. While I can readily accept a little extra overhead from a more elegant model like WAI/Warp, I don't think 5-10% CPU usage is reasonable for streaming data to a *single* client on a reasonably beefy 2.4GHz Core2 CPU. Given the Warp benchmarks that have been posted and the fact that my (admittedly slightly simpler) http server uses around 0-1% CPU, that makes me think that I'm probably doing something wrong. Anyway, I'll see about producing some proper benchmarks (probably not until the weekend, though) and I guess I/we can take it from there. Cheers,
