I did a lot of work in this respect... That was Yet Another REBOL
Web Server. I did a first working-but-ugly version in June-July
1999; I was working on an improved version during August and
September...

Actually, you would be surprised in knowing what REBOL can really
do here. :-) You can get a modular web server in less than 30Kb of
code.

It will if your server needs to handle a lot of requests at the
same time; there are a lot of situations when this is unlikely. A
solution could be to create a number of REBOL processes and
distribute the load over them. 

OTOH, since REBOL/Apache (the REBOL module for Apache servers) is
already in beta stage, I'd prefer waiting for it.
