To be honest, I don't understand why anyone would want to use it.
If I use sendfile, I need to open a new process/thread for every
connection, right? OK, apache already does that, but that eats more
resources than a single-threaded select based server, doesn't it?
It is probably a big win for FTP servers who tend to be multi-process
anyway.
Does anyone have an example for the CORK option mentioned in the man
page from Andy? I do not really understand it, especially why it is
recommended in conjunction with sendfile. Sound's like a win for a web
server that uses write() to write the header line by line, buy maybe I
completely misunderstood that option.
