slow, and that some of its key components have inherent performance problems
that cannot be dealt with without changes to protocols.
Topics appropriate to the list are:
- Performance issues in existing implementations
- Managing busy servers
- Benchmarking servers
- High performance Server design
- High speed (130Mbps+) issues
- Client implementation
- HTTP - beyond 1.0
- Other performance and scalability issues
