HTTPoison vs HTTPotion

This performance analysis is interesting, especially if HTTPotion by default isn’t running an “optimized” ibrowse - perhaps the optimization itself (increased session count to 300 and max pipeline count to 1) is irrelevant for anything but benchmarks.

The README does a very bad job of explaining exactly what these results mean to the developer.

I am inclined to go with HTTPoison based on the results of this alone.
