How does this MPM scale? Meaning do I always have to have MaxClients
threads in my process? How does this handle graceful restart (either it
becomes mpmt, or it stops serving pages if one thread is handling a
long-lived request)?
Before this is committed to the code, I would ask one question. Do we
really want sites using an SPMT MPM? If not, then we should not commit
it. If it is there, people will use it, and we will have to maintain it.
If we don't care, then guess I don't care if we commit it. For myself, I
don't want people using this MPM at a live site, so I would be -0.5 for
having it in the tree.
I know Windows and OS/2 are essentially SPMT MPMs, and we are telling
people to use those MPMs on those platforms. However, the experts on
those platforms are saying this is the correct solution for Windows and
OS/2. I disagree that this is a valid MPM for Unix.
