I'm having great success using it for highly concurrent short lived requests (serving out of a cache and regenerated behind the scenes) - managing about 4,500 requests/second per process (and we run 1 process per CPU core and it scales fine!). >From my understanding of the architecture, it should also work for lots of open connections that aren't doing anything (non-blocking select based sockets).
