Title: Sample for Nowin server

Hi just want to show how easy and probably fast could be pure .Net implementation for server.

Also ab.exe could be bottleneck (it just tests Http 1.0 and not Http 1.1 with keepalive).
https://github.com/Bobris/Nowin/blob/master/BenchmarkClients/WeigHTTP.exe is better.
Also make sure to disable any antivirus products which spy any network communication.
around 5000 per second is pretty bad compared to results here: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r7&hw=i7&test=json

It would be interesting if you could post results from your PC of Nowin vs Helios.
