HTTP.jl async is slow compared to python+aiohttp

I think Scaling IO with number of threads to achieve high throughput · Issue #48232 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub is related as well; my understanding is RelationalAI folks have worked on pushing up network throughput, and found OpenSSL outperformed MbedTLS, and then after that they were bottlenecked by libuv. The linked issue discusses that in more detail.
