Performance is going to suffer.  HTTP parsing is expensive, and unless
we goto a parser like ServerSide's (heavily regexp based), I don't
think we're going to come close to the speed of a C based parser. I
think the question is whether the performance loss is enough to be
debilitating on 1.9.x or on rubinius (or jruby?).  I would think that
we wouldn't get rid of the C extensions, though.  Just render them an
additional, optional component.

Hallelujah!
