Description

The net.Buffers internally uses writev syscall so we can write multiple chunks without concatenation in buffer. This significantly improves performance and I wondered why fasthttp doesn't use it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study net.Buffers and its writev syscall usage. Examine how fasthttp currently writes response body. Propose a change to use net.Buffers for writing multiple chunks without concatenation.
