I saw no evidence of that. I can fire off at least 10s of requests per
second to the slim server and it handles the interrupts and replies
quickly.

I wouldn't agree with that assessement either. I would say, from past
experience with performance analysis of large pieces of code, that 99%
of it is fine. There's 1% that may need some rewriting. Finding and
identifying that 1% is often more work than the rewriting of it.

Again, I don't think that conclusion is supportable (at least not as
far as I have looked into it). I read in another thread recently that
someone broke it out into 2 threads fairly easily, and that solved
almost all of the problem. I'm waiting to hear back from him what he
did. But from what he described, the results sound plausable and the
work achievable without huge expenditures of time and resources.
