NSPR and APR definitely have similarities. But there are some

you have pool based resource management. This is a boon for any
programmer.
Ok so APR doesn't have thread pools? Could this be implemented in the
future or doesn't the existing architecture allow for that?
Cool. Thing is, I'm toying with the idea of writing an OO DBMS. So
scalability and high performance are extremely important. Oracle uses
a portable runtime, btw, there's is called VOS (Virtual OS).
hi Jason.
if you want high-performance you'll need to investigate async I/O
and things like direct I/O to implent your writers/readers
I don't think async I/O is in NSPR either BTW
also .. you might want to have a look at ACE
(http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html)
it's in C++ BTW
Thanks
