Hello,

I have a simple code at: http://pastebin.com/KeU4XANP

This script down a small CSS file from Yahoo CDN for 1000 times, I
benchmarked this script with ApacheBench(ab)

POE/Component::Client::HTTP: 70 requests / sec
ab (ab -n 1000 -c 100
'http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.8.1/build/fonts/fonts-min.css'): 500
requests /sec

Since ab is running as single threaded mode, but still 7-8x faster
than  POE/Component::Client::HTTP.

Is this result normal?
