It seems to me you want to design more than just a demultiplexor. It seems you might want a system that is fully capable of managing the main loop of a sophisticated application, something that you could simply plug a socket class into and suddenly have a high-performance web server. It might manage thread pools for you, and implement a framework for the Apache I/O filtering you mentioned, and a ton of other fun things.
I hope that was *meant* to be funny, but no; as I said before I want to write the *minimal* interface that you can still call a demultiplexor. This demultiplexor should however not impose any restrictions on what you can write with it. It should also be possible use it for a high-performance web server (after adding a lot of extra code by the user). So, the "high-performance" remains a demand yes. -- Carlo Wood <carlo@alinoe.com>
