The main disadvantage to the current version of CRW is servicing hundreds or
more connections at the time.  As a single thread is responsible for one
connection, we need hundreds of threads to service the connections.  The
problem is not the overhead for creating/destroying the threads, but rather
the burden on the kernel for maintaining/scheduling them.  Even though CRW
has a way of maintaining maximum number of threads running at a time, I
would like our server to be pretty comfortable servicing hundreds of
connections at the same time.

[ozra] Go ahead and write the program.  We might implement it in grub.

well?

[ozra] That would be excellent, too.
