I don't believe any of those middlwares are necessary [but, of course, keep them if the other frameworks are providing comparable functions]

Which WSGI / ASGI server are you using in each case?

@funkybob, can you remove the middleware to check if the app would still run? Presently can't ascertain that at the moment. I am currently using the wsgi server that comes with each framework. On second thought, I don't think that is fair as some inbuilt servers are slower than others. I will update the tests to use gunicorn for wsgi and uvicorn for ASGI.
