ApacheCon is on at the moment, and there's been a fair bit of discussion
on this sort of thing. Alas the slides probably won't be up until the end
of the weekend, but I'd say some things to look out for are:
* trafficserver - a new http server from yahoo
* new worker models in apache 2.4
* partial re-write of some of the worker stuff in 2.4
* ability to have dedicated processes for sending data back to your
slower clients, so your heavyweight threads can get on with real work
(alas I've forgotten the name of the module for this)
* lots of async and non blocking stuff, mostly for tomcat but a bit
for httpd too
