Initial Comment:
Will it be usefull to have special writer thread that
will send multiple files in async mode to multiple
clients. For example if i serve big ISO or movie files
and have many connections, currently they all use conn
thread for along time until the whole file is sent.
Instead we can mark the conn to be used in writer
thread and release conn thread for other requests and
in the meantime the writer thread will send multiple
FDs to clients in one big loop.

Currently it is possible to simply change ConnSend in
connio.c to submit open descriptor to the writer queue
and return marking the connection so  usual NsClose
will not close actual connection socket. Then write
thread will be simple loop reading small chunks from
every file and sending to corresponding socket.

Does it make sense?
