I have a bunch of services that need to communicate with each other. Here's a NodeJS based service trying to a C++ based service.

Using Node's built-in fetch(), I get 3 req/sec.

Using Node's http.request(), I get 8100 req/sec.

Not a typo. Can anyone explain what's going on? I understand that fetch() will have some overhead due to being largely compatible with the browser fetch. But this is too much.
