Hi All, Had a look over the NIO work, running ab2(apache-bench - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/ab.html) ) against it, and it seems to hold up pretty well when compared with apache/mod_lisp2 and araneida (I'll post some results later on). I ran into a memory leak, which the following patch fixed for me. The patch is against the nio-20060204.tar.gz (doesn't look like the cvs is up-to-date?) from the http://common-lisp.net/project/nio/ website. I'm no lisp expert, so any feedback appreciated. Cheers, Paul. nio-20060204$ diff async-fd.lisp.orig async-fd.lisp 184c184 < (with-slots (write-queue read-fd write-fd) async-fd --- > (with-slots (write-queue read-fd write-fd foreign-read-buffer) async-fd 189a190 > (foreign-free foreign-read-buffer) 216,220c217,226 < ;; remove entries that have been fully written < (setf write-queue (remove-if #'(lambda (x) < (with-slots (size written) x < (= size written))) < write-queue)) --- > ;; remove (and dealloc buffers) of entries that have been fully written > (let ((unfinished-entries NIL)) > (setf write-queue > (nreverse > (dolist (entry write-queue unfinished-entries) > (with-slots (size written) entry > (if (= size written) > (with-slots (buffer) entry > (foreign-free buffer)) > (push entry unfinished-entries)))))))
