Today, a properly tuned apache httpd, with enough RAM, can keep up
with the 'fastest' web servers of the day, like lighttpd. Most of
the benchmarks where we do badly, is when apache httpd is mis-
configured, or running on extremely low RAM resources.
I think what we solve, is that with a slightly more async core and
MPM structure, we can signfigantly reduce the memory required to
service several thousand long lived connections.
Agreed. We're not talking, imo, about increasing performance. We're
talking increasing efficiency.
Moving forward with a hybrid that lets you pull in async abilities
when needed seems reasonable to me.....
