-(ws) Add a new ws sub-command, echo_client. This command send a message to an echo server, and send back to a server whatever message it does receive. When connecting to a local ws echo_server, on my MacBook Pro 2015 I can send/receive around 30,000 messages per second. (cf #235)

+## WebSocket Client performance
+
+We will run a client and a server on the same machine, connecting to localhost. This bench is run on a MacBook Pro from 2015. We can receive over 200,000 (small) messages per second, another way to put it is that it takes 5 micro-second to receive and process one message. This is an indication about the minimal latency to receive messages.
+
+### Receiving messages
+
+By using the push_server ws sub-command, the server will send the same message in a loop to any connected client.
+
+```
+ws push_server -q --send_msg 'yo'
+```
+
+By using the echo_client ws sub-command, with the -m (mute or no_send), we will display statistics on how many messages we can receive per second.
+
+```
