Traffic Server, but...

I got it up to roughly 150k req/s and I still think that's a client-issue.

I know Nicholas had a favicon serving at 60k req/s without any hassle
(after session_linger was set up).

I'm reasonably certain that I can get close to breaking 300k req/s on a
dual quad core with ht, but I don't think I can convince anyone to lend me
a small city worth of computers to generate the traffic.
