I recently wrote a reverse proxy in Go 
- https://github.com/gptankit/serviceq which does load balancing and queues 
failed requests (to dipatch later). 
When I compared perf with nginx, I noticed 15-20 ms higher response times. 
So, I timed each function, and got to know that the code spends most time 
in 3 places - 

Read from tcp conn
Save in a buffer
Write to tcp conn

'Save' is necessary addition as I need to re-run the requests. For 'Read' 
and 'Write', I use bufio - 

Read:
        reader := bufio.NewReader(*httpConn.tcpConn)
        req, err := http.ReadRequest(reader)

Write:
        writer := bufio.NewWriter(*httpConn.tcpConn)

Why does Go impose me to read from bufio.Reader and not directly from 
io.Reader? I understand the implication for bigger data but for few bytes, 
managing a buffer seems like an overhead.

I am using Go 1.6.
