<h3>Summary</h3>

    <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
      <p>This MPM is a developer playground and highly experimental, so it
      may or may not work as expected.</p>
    </div>

    <p>This is an experimental variant of the standard worker MPM.
    Rather than queuing connections like the worker MPM, the
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/threadpool.html">threadpool</a></code> MPM queues idle worker threads and
    hands each accepted connection to the next available worker.</p>

    <p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/threadpool.html">threadpool</a></code> MPM can't match the performance of
    the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/worker.html">worker</a></code> MPM in benchmark testing. As of 2.0.39,
    some of the key load-throtting concepts from the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/threadpool.html">threadpool</a></code> MPM have been incorporated into the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/worker.html">worker</a></code> MPM. The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/threadpool.html">threadpool</a></code> code is useful
    primarily as a research platform. For general-purpose use and for any
    production environments, use <code class="module"><a href="../mod/worker.html">worker</a></code> instead.</p>
