Well, I also agree that non-blocking sockets are faster than blocking.
But as someone said, raw performance is not the most important thing
for most people :-)
My initial goal is to deal with the keep alives - i.e. not keep the
threads busy for all the idle connections. That would be a nice
improvement over the current non-nio connector, which can't do this,
and is pretty minimal and consistent with the current model.

I will eventually use the APR code for non-blocking parsing of the
request. Not sure if in this endpoint or I'll try another one - I kind
of like the fact that this code is very simple. I'm more interested in
experiments with how to do non-blocking processing at coyote level,
whatever happens in a servlet is limited by other factors - blocking
socket is not the biggest overhead.

I'll announce when it's 'complete' or 'ready to evaluate' - right now
it's just 'sandbox experiment'.
Right now - there is little point in benchmarking.
