I did some benchmarks, and it looks like BufferedProtocol can make httptools up to 5% faster for relatively small requests < 10Kb.  Don't expect big speedups there.

For asyncpg, benchmarks that fetch a lot of data (50-100Kb) get faster up to 15%.  So we'll definitely use the BufferedProtocol in asyncpg.

For applications that need to handle megabytes of data per request (like Antoine's benchmark) the speedup will be up to 2x.
