koa-better-static

A higher performance, drop in replacement for koa-static, with a few minimal changes:

• Doesn't use koa-send, but uses an optimized version
• Supports If-Modified-Since header for cache/performance
• Removal of gzip option (which checks for .gz files)
• Removal of defer (if you want this behavior, put the middleware at the end)
• No default index file
• Requires node 4 or greater.
