This will happen as soon as the codebase stabilizes a bit, that is when we go beta (in two - three weeks). At the moment we just don't have the time... The reason why I released the alpha binary version is that several people would not believe that a user-space server with this level of performance would be possible at all and several statements that I made on this list were challenged. Besides I really appreciate the feedback that I received so far from Ingo and others, and I'd be very curious to know if anybody did any performance evaluation at all. - Fabio Zach Brown wrote: > I've always been tempted to go back and take a real swing at a > nice content server, but there's only so many hours in the day, and > apache+thttpd+tux complete the problem space.
