Thank you all for the 100% green feedback, have fun!
.NET Core MVC vs Iris MVC
The first test will contain a simple application with a text response and the second will render templates + a layout.
Simple
We will compare two identical things here, in terms of application, the expected response and the stability of their run times, so we will not try to put more things in the game like JSON
or XML
encoders and decoders, just a simple text message. To achieve a fair comparison we will use the MVC architecture pattern on both sides, Go and .NET Core.

Summary
- Time to complete the
5000000 requests
- smaller is better. - Reqs/sec - bigger is better.
- Latency - smaller is better
- Throughput - bigger is better.
- Memory usage - smaller is better.
- LOC (Lines Of Code) - smaller is better.
.NET Core MVC Application, written using 86 lines of code, ran for 1 minute serving 82608.44 requests per second within 1.51ms latency in average and 235.36ms max, the memory usage of all these was ~123MB (without the dotnet host).
Iris MVC Application, written using 27 lines of code, ran for 43 seconds serving 114378.40 requests per second within 1.09ms latency in average and 19.92ms max, the memory usage of all these was ~12MB.
Update: 20 August 2017 and benchmarks re-ran at 22 October 2018
As Josh Clark and Scott Hanselman pointed out on this status, on .NET Core MVC Startup.cs
file the line with services.AddMvc();
can be replaced with services.AddMvcCore();
. I followed their helpful instructions and re-run the benchmarks. The article now contains the latest benchmark output for the .NET Core application with the change both Josh and Scott noted.

MVC + Templates
Let’s run one more benchmark, spawn 1000000 requests
but this time we expect HTML generated by templates via the view engine.

.NET Core (Kestrel) vs Iris
This time we will compare the speed of the “low-level” .NET Core’s server implementation named Kestrel and Iris’ “low-level” handlers, we will test two simple applications, the first will be the same as our previous application but written using handlers and the second test will contain a single route which sets and gets a session value(string) based on a key(string).
Simple
Spawn 1000000 requests
with 125 different "threads", targeting to a dynamic registered route path, responds with a simple "value" text.

with 125 different "threads" targeting a static request path, sets and gets a session based on the name "key"
and string value "value"
and write that session value to the response stream.
