Although this is very true, I must add that I've been able to replicate the issue on our Mac with 10.2.6 Darwin, regardless of the above setup. The same AOLserver 4.0 on Linux and Sun work perfectly well under whatever (concurrent) load you apply to it with ab. The MaxOSX has problems when the number of concurrent connections matches number of connection threads. I was not able to verify why is that so, but there might be a problem, either somewhere in the pthreads implementation or the networking code on Darwin (or both). This has yet to be discovered... My personal experience with this OS is: if you need a stable server OS, you should consider an alternative to Darwin, at least for some time. Both Linux and Solaris are very good, with Solaris being still the best platform I know about. This is of course just my personal oppinion.
