high performance server design approach

[Friedrich Locke]

Mark,

when i say high performance, i am looking something at least as fast as the
fastest performing http server on the market for a given set of requests on
the same pool of static files.

I am aware og ngnix, but i have to write my own http server. Using someone
else solution is not an option.
