Sure you can! That's ~1000 CPU cycles/request, which [assuming at least
a 100BASE-TX NIC] is plenty to service 100K *small* requests/s... ;-}
Of course, you might have to write it in assembler on bare metal,
but the good news is that with only a 1000 cycle budget, at least
the code won't be very large! ;-}
