I just find it odd that Apache hadn't employed the likes of epoll already. IRC servers have been using async sockets like this for yeeeears.


Well, it does since apache 2.1 ('event' mpm module, replaces worker)


Event MPM is still a large pile of fail. Unless you're unwilling to switch from Apache, the benefits over Worker are mostly theoretical from the performance point of view. Hopefully this will change with 2.4, but only for those who didn't kick Apache out of their production machines.
