Thanks Mark. It really helps. Once I have used keep alive in benchmark response time reduced from 1900ms to 5 ms! It should have come to my mind before. But thanks for your valuable hints.. I can now breath :) Next thing I am targetting is to use this server for stress test and will let you know in case of any concern.
