C++ web framework benchmarks

The fastest C++ web framework in HttpArena is userver, with a composite of 518 on HTTP/1.1 — 12 of 71 against every language in its league. Measured over Alpha Round, every entry on the same machine.

Every C++ entry in the benchmark, compared on the composite score of each family. The composite sums a normalized score over the profiles of that family, where the leader of each profile scores 100. Rank overall is the entry's place in its own league across all languages; rank among C++ narrows the same field to this language. Both link through to the board view they were taken in.
