This is apples to watermelons comparision. The remote test uses a new `requests` instance (tear down and set-up of a new HTTP request, not a session) for each call, except in Tornado , where it uses `tornado.httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient` and in muffin where it's using `aiohttp.request`. The klein example uses `treq` while the aiohttp example uses `aiohttp.request`. Requests might have a pretty API, but it is one of the, if not the worst performing http libraries you can use.
