Feel free to add the GPL notice, but please add my name as well :-)
of course.
Also, there's one project out there that looks interesting:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mstone/
"""
Mstone is a multi-protocol stress and performance measurement tool.
Mstone can test multiple protocols simultaneously and measures the
performance of every transaction. The performance can be graphed

I'll take a look it.
Very useful as I'll resume work on my preforking patch, and we start
thinking about the C10K problem.

Interesting problem. I've been thinking about that for a while now. It
would of course be possible to build a select() or poll() based server
(there are some ready-made frameworks for this). I'm doing some
experiments with building a simple POP server (using DBMail as storage
of course) in python (using asyncore and asynchat). I do this in my free
time, so development is very slow.. (so many other things to do..).
I still wonder if this problem is really relevant for us though, as many
DBMail actions are more CPU (database) bound than I/O-bound.
