So what you say is that you have ported a C/C++ web server to ILE and 
that it allows to call ILE programs easily.  Ok, that makes sense.

What loads does it support and may it be necessary, like recommended for 
slow sessions, to put a proxy Apache in front to get the expensive 
request finished to serve a new request?

In other words, I'd like some performance numbers :)
