The Haskell Snap Framework has a new http server in the works. It's completely rewritten on a new library called io-streams with performance in mind. Initial benchmark results look promising. http://snapframework.com/blog/2013/03/05/announcing-io-strea...

On the other hand, I'm genuinely surprised the current stable version is not doing any better.

This benchmark probably has more to do with the performance of the JSON serialization and database libraries than with web framework performance.

If this was the only reason, Snap's performance would be closer to Yesod.

It's still several months away from being released.
