I guess what I'm asking is if I just start using the Servlet 3.0 support for suspending requests out of the box, will it be a thread blocking implementation I'm using?
HTTP APR/native is blocking as well, correct? So if I want to use Servlet 3.0 async (eg, a call to request.startAsync), and have it be handled without blocking IO, I need to use the NIO connector?
