An async mod_proxy backend would be huge for my workloads.  In the JEE space I 
deal with, much more time is spent waiting on the application backends then 
with the clients, especially now that we have the event mpm.  Something like 
this would allow me to drastically reduce thread counts and free up a lot of 
associated memory.
