    Ktor is a project that's not primarily focused on application performance but developer performance. It seems to be sth different than what you want to achieve. I don't think a lot frameworks... or any other framework writes its own low level io stuff from scratch, they mostly use https://netty.io/ because there's not too much room for improvement and it's complete, battle tested and so on. I lately came across https://github.com/hexagonkt/hexagon which seems to have a very solid code base based on modules modules modules, is kotlin first and they have an adapter for netty. The usage of the naked http server seems to be as easy as it can be https://hexagonkt.com/port_http_server/port_http_server/ and they are even listed on techempower benchmarks https://github.com/hexagonkt/hexagon/ .
