I would actually like to address the performance issues.

is there any chance the oldest version (4.x based) might be released,
or at least it would be nice to get the code snippet that attaches to eh ng_ksocket and
reads and writes the stream..

I could make a TCP ECHO node that way and use it for tracking down the bottlenecks
I'm not too interested in the actual webserver itself.
