I am not clear here. Since our load-test kept sending the requests continually, the children with keep-alive connections should not be stuck in waiting for requests. Am I right? still not clear why keep-alive slows down the performance? I also think, if the number of free/available children is big engough, a portion of children being stuck waiting for requests on keep-alive connections should not slow down the performance, right? > ......

Event mpm is really the one we are looking for. However, it seems still a experimental MPM. Could you tell me how stable event mpm in 2.2/2.3?
