I presume that there is an event loop. When an event happens and the processing of that event takes, for example, five minutes, what happens when another event happens? I would imagine it gets processed straight away,but I have no idea how, what's the mechanism? threads? Or are multiple server daemons set up and the request passed to them, like apache does? btw, how does one download axkit2? I have a new app to write using ajax etc in about 3 weeks and would like to use it if poss. Assuming the current paradigm for axkit2 is whats going to be decided upon of course.
