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.
