There are sites/workloads where keepalive timeouts tie up the majority of the

I don't have any technical comments, other than "cool". But I can confirm that many people report needing to turn KeepAlive off to get reasonable performance from apache. It might be interesting to see the KeepAlive off case along-side the current implementation and the event-drive implementation in benchmarking in order to prove that this really wins.
