With web sockets:

• don't have to parse the headers for each request (only if new headers are added)
• don't have to parse domain, host, protocol (since they won't change)
• do have to parse the url and query params every time still
• don't have to parse the session or cookies for each request
• don't have to re-authenticate the currentUser every request
• don't have to instantiate a controller for every request (beyond just the first one)
