Static file serving

The benchmarks below show the static() middleware requests per second vs static() with the staticCache() cache layer, out performing other popular node modules, while maintaining more features like Range request etc.

static(): 2700 rps
node-static: 5300 rps
static() + staticCache(): 7500 rps

Running Tests

first:

$ npm install -d

then:

$ make test
