Yet it services more than one request per minute, 24 hours, 7 days, and has done so without denial of services, corruption, or leakage since its first implementation. It's so small it can be verified, it's faster than the retail brand, and it doesn't have all the holes we keep finding in tho other servers. Different strokes for different folks.
I really tried to resist but.... 1 request a minute!!!! That's a whopping 1440 a day! Try 20+ a second or over a million a day which is the current rough load which most of our servers on our site handle...(our peak day last week was 17 million hits). I don't disagree that there is value in producing a trivial server which can be guaranteed to have zero bugs (since it is so small). It, however, should be treated as an intellectual excercise. Comparing it to a production-level retail server is simply meaningless..they have different goals (as your last post emphasized)... -Jon
