> I’m curious what the performance of this implementation is
Almost certainly crap.
As the author states, it's a simple fork-on-request server, which was state-of-the-art in about 1996. But that's not the point.

1. What is the performance of this implementation of an assembly server? The comment you replied to answered it: It's likely crap. Hand written assembly is almost always worse than compiler.
2. How much performance can a human still squeeze out at the assembly level? That question is different and remains unanswered. But in my experience the answer is the same.
