Also, the sole and primary reason i'm learning AP2 and APR is that i need to write software that can scale to millions of concurrent requests and be able to accept -> triage -> route -> reset. Having the ability to make such decisions (as Cliff says) is not a wet dream, but a necessity. Here is your second real-world example as to why sub-second time resolution is a real thing. -- James
