Apache's downside is simply that it requires Apache. In most other aspects it's pretty good, including the fact that for free you get a working server-status page listing current connections. I think the performance of the Apache module is very slightly higher than prefork simply because all the I/O happens in C. > (I definitely want stable, so pollserver looks like it's out of the > question.

That's about all though :-/ Basically you just need an understanding of how async programming works - from there everything starts to become obvious. Matt.
