Actix web 
Actix web is a small, fast, down-to-earth, open source rust web framework.
use actix_web::*;
fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> String {
format!("Hello {}!", &req.match_info()["name"])
}
fn main() {
HttpServer::new(
|| Application::new()
.resource("/{name}", |r| r.f(index)))
.serve::<_, ()>("127.0.0.1:8080");
}

Benchmarks
This is totally unscientific and probably pretty useless. In real world business
logic would dominate on performance side. But in any case. i took several web frameworks
for rust and used theirs hello world example. All projects are compiled with
--release parameter. I didnt test single thread performance for iron and rocket.
As a testing tool i used wrk and following commands
wrk -t20 -c100 -d10s http://127.0.0.1:8080/
wrk -t20 -c100 -d10s http://127.0.0.1:8080/ -s ./pipeline.lua --latency -- / 128
I ran all tests on localhost on MacBook Pro late 2017. It has 4 cpu and 8 logical cpus. Each result is best of five runs. All measurements are req/sec.
| Name | 1 thread | 1 pipeline | 3 thread | 3 pipeline | 8 thread | 8 pipeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Actix | 91.200 | 912.000 | 122.100 | 2.083.000 | 107.400 | 2.650.000 |
| Gotham | 61.000 | 178.000 | ||||
| Iron | 94.500 | 78.000 | ||||
| Rocket | 95.500 | failed | ||||
| Shio | 71.800 | 317.800 | ||||
| tokio-minihttp | 106.900 | 1.047.000 |
Some notes on results. Iron and Rocket got tested with 8 threads, which showed best results. Gothan and tokio-minihttp seem does not support multithreading, or at least i couldn't figured out. I manually enabled pipelining for Shio and Gotham*. While shio seems support multithreading, but it showed absolutly same results for any how number of threads (maybe macos problem?) Rocket completely failed in pipelined tests.
