One of the things that I took away from from "Mr. Sun's" presentation is
that a blocking thread-pooled solution performed quite well.  A non-blocking
solution has the benefit of requiring vastly fewer threads to handle the
same number of active connections.  The other benefit that NIO adds is
improved buffer handling.

I have not looked at the connector protocols, but I'd expect to find a mux
with the web server rather than opening lots of connections.  Therefore, I
would not think of connection count as an issue.

That about right?
