Hi, I'll start doing a number of commits that implement part of what was proposed so far. Please review. ( the tree may be unstable - I'll try to send individual commits instead of a big one ). One of the changes that wasn't discussed so far - in Ajp13.java I reproduced some of the changes from the standalone module. That results in almost 50% increase in speed, and the changes are pretty minor ( just the use of MessageBytes and OutputStream instead of Strings - it's fascinating how a small change can have such an effect ! ).
