The only impact to your work with modperl is that you will need to assess the ithread-safety of your dependent XS-based modules. For example, use a JSON::XS thread safe alternative- there are several.

It is safe to ignore all that now that SawyerX spit polished all of the perl5 internals.

Unless you send flush buckets down the output filter stack yourself, the “response handler” phase exits long before the “connection handler” starts making non blocking socket system calls. So you need an order of magnitude fewer ithreads than you do prefork children in a multitier arch.

Never topped 50% avg CPU, and almost all of the CPU was in userland (not system calls).
