Poor performance compared to Node's `https` module #304

Not sure if this is expected but the performance is much worse than Node's https module.

Interesting, there are several reasons why this might be happening. Would you mind if those benchmarks become available within this module. I want to have a set of benchmarks that can be expanded over time that will help those who are more focused on performance to have things to compare against.

Sure, go ahead.
