IMHO, I think it would enhance a lot the perfomance... Because in my 
case, since I'm writing my own FastCGI server, each connection 
corresponds to go through the server and find out (search) a thread for 
doing the job. If there is none, create a new thread, otherwise, reuse 
any previously created thread. Also, manage old threads and discard them 
all. If I could keep the tcp/ip connection opened, I would avoid this 
work on a hit per hit basis. Got it ?

It's not the same thing. It could be multiplexed and ALSO, reuse 
connections, that is use persistent TCP/IP connections to the backend 
and still Multiplex them.

I think however that persistent TCP/IP connections is more effective 
than multiplexing, and also way, way simpler for the backend server....

Have you seen that Mr Kevin Worthington prepared a version ? Isnt it 
"clean" for Windows ? I'm using this one.

But I have had severe problems with Lighty when doing http file 
uploading (POST with multipart form/data) using it. And, http file 
uploading is a must for me. I didnt mention it on my requirements cause 
I presume that every good http server should have it.

Check my postings at their Forum, if you will.

Hope you do not run into the same problems I'm having or, that you dont 
need http file uploading...
