Not named after a Native American people. Won't scale as well.

Haha. I think Apache is the only popular webserver nowadays that actually still can't beat the C10k problem [1] without an extravagant amount of system resources. Process- and thread-based concurrency sucks for HTTP(S).

Event-driven is the way to go.

When Apache 2.4 is released, hopefully the event MPM will help with this.

Yeah, the evented MPM has always been the redheaded stepchild of the Apache family, which is unfortunate.
