What is the reason behind Rust’s web framework, Rocket, not performing as well as expected in the Techempower benchmarks?

It’s a social problem, not technical, so not sure a random bunch of a few enthusiasts can help much. Maybe if we roll our own benchmarking harness. But that would entail huge technical voluntary work – and we must have people that mercilessly curate the submitted code so that it doesn’t just game the benchmarking metrics.
