I think generally speaking, if you really want or care about performance you shouldn't be using Caddy.
The link you provided had some results from eva2000, I think those are good indication of how Caddy performs. I have used some of his work since... I think some 20 years ago. ( Jeez.... ) So he has been testing server and frameworks all the way back since CGI-Bin era.
But I do understand the frustration, may be Caddy should be up front about it. On the other hand I can see how the author doesn't want to do benchmarks. If you have to benchmarks this may not be for you.
I do wish they at least had memory usage on their web site. Although in my testing it is always less than 100MB I dont bother much with it on a low traffic website.
