Indeed, this is a MUCH debated suject. But I'm afraid Apache is not
the fastest example to follow (they have special constraints such as modules
interface) Zeus and TUX Threaded linUX webserver or BOA come to mind.
http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html seems interesting but a nit out of date ...
Anyway, there was a discussion on lkml on how to overcome select()/poll()
shortcomings with a new API. If it made it to kernel 2.4, you should be
looking that way.
