Hi all
 
We have a server application using TIdTCPServer,  Currently each client connection spawns a new thread and that thread manages client requests based on a Readln in the Execute loop.
 
We are having real performance issues when we have more than 2000 client connections, largely due I suspect to thread management.  I understand thatt in the Unix environment a number of client connections can semaphore to a single connection management thread and can be serviced in an orderly fashion.
 
Can Indy be configured easily to operate in this fashion?
 
I know that I could poll all connections in a loop, but the list management of the connections to be polled, connection and disconnection handling and the polling itself are all fairly heavy duty items. 
 
I can't see anyway of raising a semaphore on a socket without having a thread bound to that socket.
 
Any thoughts would be welcome.
 
Stephen
