[hunchentoot-devel] tbnl-worker threads

[quasi]

Hey,

We are using Apache+mod_lisp2+TBNL for our website.  The load has
sorta spiked of late, we serve approx 4-5 concurrent pages (which are
heavy, computationally and in size).  We are using Allegro CL.

The thing observed is that there are about 70-100 tbnl-worker threads
which I dont think are doing anything much.  There is a limit of 230
threads on the Allegro CL and this 100 threads becomes worrysome. I
think they have a timeout and the die eventually, but I wonder at
their existance and if they could be made to die an early death (I
could give them some cig's but ...). :)

BTW is it good time to move from TBNL -> Hunchentoot ?  Because it's a
live system and 'if it aint broke dont fix it' comes to me mind.

Any ideas about the performance etc. ?  I did some initial benchmarks
and seems to be a tad slower than apache+mod_lisp2+TBNL ... but the
benchmarks were not serious. I will do them again.

thanks,
