(Original node issue nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#6788)
I have rewritten the url parser module of node core as it was/is a serious bottleneck in some of the techempower benchmarks
Running node's urlparser benchmark using iojs it's still 16x faster when not retrieving properties and 11x faster when retrieving all properties (which are lazy getters in my implementation). In absolute terms the current iojs urlparser throughputs 25k parses per second vs 400k lazy/270k eager parses per second. format and resolve are also affected in similar magnitudes.
