We seem to be alone in this discussion and I think we've
flogged this novel enough. Since no one else is interested,
let's give the novel a graceful burial. I gratefully
appreciate your comments, as well as Dean's comments -
They highlighted several oversights in the design of
my project. I certainly did not give proper consideration
to the performance effects of the different threading
models.

This discussion probably should have occurred in new-httpd,
since most of the discussion was general, and very little was
"plusplus".

Also the process-model discussion should have
been preceded by an architecture/product discussion - its
hard to consider design issues such as threading models
or class definitions without having a clear idea of how Apache
fits or should fit in the larger picture of distributed
computing. I believe the role of http servers is/will be
very different now (or in the very near future) than how
they are currently conceived. No reason Apache shouldn't
take the lead in these future roles as it has the lead in
the current conception. I take the blame for starting the
process-model discussion before the architecture/product
discussion.
