I think the community is as important as the code, at least in Apache. Let me ask a question - how much time have you spent benchmarking and profiling tomcat ? I can tell I spent few months with almost daily runs in OptimizeIt and several 'ab' per day. And I suspect Remy did the same - at least that's what 4.1 seems to indicate. And few other people do the same - see the discussions on JNI performance as a recent example. We are way beyond the point where 'intuition' was the primary factor. If you believe o.a.c.c can be optimized - feel free to prove it. If your benchmarks show that coyote is slower than the old connector - let us know how you did that. Performance is certainly not the only goal here, but after 3 years we know that buffer management is important, Strings are bad, char-byte conversions is expensive - and all of those must go into the core.
