Hi, I have another idea for you to check:
Will it be usefull to have special writer thread that will send multiple files in async mode to multiple clients. For example if i serve big ISO or movie files and have many connections, currently they all use conn thread for along time until the whole file is sent. Instead we can mark the conn to be used in writer thread and release conn thread for other requests and in the meantime the writer thread will send multiple FDs to clients in one big loop.
Currently it is possible to simply change ConnSend in connio.c to submit open descriptor to the writer queue and return marking the connection so usual NsClose will not close actual connection socket. Then write thread will be simple loop reading small chunks from every file and sending to corresponding socket.
Does it make sense? -- Vlad Seryakov 571 262-8608 office [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crystalballinc.com/vlad/
