Is it possible to build AOLServer in a single-threaded, lock-free
manner?
Because BerkeleyDB's tcl interface isn't thread safe, I'm running
aolserver in single-thread mode, with
ns_param maxthreads 1
ApacheBench shows me getting 440 page requests per second, on an ADP
page that does a database find and read operation, which is really
fast still, even when I set concurrency at 10 with ApacheBench.
But, since I'm running in single-threaded mode, is it possible to
disable thread-safety locking in AOLServer, to further speed things up?
If it isn't today, I could simple #define
Ns_MutexLock
Ns_MutexUnlock
as no-ops and that should do it.
Is it the case that Mutexes are the only lock type that's used in
AOLServer's thread safety? Seems like it...
