Forget it. mod_lisp is much, much faster. 3 to 4 times faster in
a local test with ApacheBench against Apache 1.3 + mod_lisp +
TBNL, lighttpd + mod_proxy + TBNL, and TBNL stand-alone.

Apache 1.3 + mod_lisp + TBNL was always faster.

The mod_lisp request data can be parsed without any regular
expressions. Maybe that's enough to cause that difference in
speed.

I think I'll try to remove all calls to CL-PPCRE:SPLIT and test
it again (later).
