HTTPX AsyncClient slower than aiohttp? #838
Description
I just found async-client to be significantly slower comparing to aiohttp, escecially for single request:
| aiohttp | httpx | aiohttp/httpx | |
|---|---|---|---|
| single, rps | 1062 | 141 | 7.5 |
| session, rps | 1862 | 1197 | 1.5 |
| session/single | 1.8 | 8.5 |
I tried both release and master, results are pretty the same. The code of the benchmark is here: https://gist.github.com/imbolc/15cab07811c32e7d50cc12f380f7f62f
