gentlemen, not sure if you had a chance to look this over, but it is pretty interesting, after some very basic tests, I get the NIO connector to perform better than the blocking io connector
the peak data throughput are
NIO - 36,000KB/s
JIO - 35,000KB/s
APR - 24,000KB/s

basic connector config, with maxThreads=150,

./ab -n 500000 -c 100 -k -C "test=89012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890" http://localhost:8080/tomcat.gif of course, not an all encapsulating test, but the NIO connector used to always lag behind the JIO connector, in these simple tests. So lets ignore the numbers, they aren't important.

I am very skeptical about that trick.
on most OS:es, there are kernel optimizations, I believe both linux and windows have 1-st byte accept, meaning they wont send you the accept signal until the first byte has arrived, and freebsd has a complete httpfilter in their kernel, meaning the process wont even get the socket until the entire http request is loaded up.
this is awesome when you turn off keepalive,
when keepalive is turned on, I believe this trick can be fairly useful.in httpd, I think you can achieve the same thing using mpm_event, where the http request doesn't get dispatched until it is received on the server.

As usual, in case someone is still interested, I get opposite results on my toy O$,
cool, I've not yet ran on windows.
with the result being APR > JIO > NIO although all three are fast enough (unfortunately, I did not try the before/after to see if the trick did something for me). I also do get a dose of paranormal activity using the NIO connector.
I do see the phantom behavior every once in a while on FC5 with JDK 1.5.0_07 as well. I'm suspecting it has to do with two JDK bugs that I am bypassing right now, I'm gonna run some more tests, to see if I can isolate it.
in longer test runs it clears itself up pretty guick.

               try {
                   wakeupCounter.set(0);
                   keyCount = selector.select(selectorTimeout);
               } catch ( NullPointerException x ) {
                   //sun bug 5076772 on windows JDK 1.5
if ( wakeupCounter == null || selector == null ) throw x;
                   continue;
               } catch ( CancelledKeyException x ) {
                   //sun bug 5076772 on windows JDK 1.5
if ( wakeupCounter == null || selector == null ) throw x;
                   continue;
               } catch (Throwable x) {
                   log.error("",x);
                   continue;
               }
currently also, its doing a busy write, need to fix this as for slow clients it affects CPU usage.


BTW, I don't know if you know about it, but the APR and JIO AJP that are in o.a.coyote.ajp should both be faster than the classic o.a.jk. Of course, it's not that hard, since the connector is much simpler (and just does basic AJP).
no, I didn't know, but its very useful stuff.
thanks
Filip
