<description>Yet another experimental variant of the standard

<module>worker</module> MPM</description>

<p>This MPM is a developer playground and highly experimental, so it

may or may not work as expected.</p>

</note>

<p>This is an experimental variant of the standard worker MPM.

Rather than queuing connections like the worker MPM, the

<module>threadpool</module> MPM queues idle worker threads and

hands each accepted connection to the next available worker.</p>

<p>The <module>threadpool</module> MPM can't match the performance of

the <module>worker</module> MPM in benchmark testing. As of 2.0.39,

some of the key load-throtting concepts from the <module

>threadpool</module> MPM have been incorporated into the <module

>worker</module> MPM. The <module>threadpool</module> code is useful

primarily as a research platform. For general-purpose use and for any

production environments, use <module>worker</module> instead.</p>
