mpm-event-optimization

About 4 months ago we moved Paul's event optimization stuff
to its own branch, and since then no work as been done on it
at all...

I'd like for us to consider putting it back into trunk, so we
can work out the bugs and issues and getting it up to snuff.
This is in conjunction with my effort to reboot 'simple' (which
I've been working on externally)...

Sometimes creating, or at least vocalizing, a "plan" is enough to
encourage people to kick-up the activity levels to push out a
release that has more than what's been expected ;)

Waiting for all mpm_event fixes to be reviewed. But with the current 
increase of activity, maybe there won't be any delay.

Delay 2.4.3 for what?

FWIW, I would prefer not to delay 2.4.3 for that.

To be clear, yes, the intent was to ensure that all patches
from trunk got into 2.4 before we re-merge. My expectation is
that the event optimizations will eventually find their way
into 2.4.x (and not be part of 2.6.x) and so getting them back
into trunk allows people to work them. Except for main
branches, most side-branches just don't get worked.

So my plan is:

  1. We push all trunk event improvements into 2.4.x
  2. We release 2.4.3
  3. We re-merge the event optims back to trunk.

But there have been quite a few bugfixes in trunk's mpm event since the 
branch. We should get these into 2.4 first before we do radical changes in 
trunk. There are also the patches from 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/201203.mbox/%3C201203022118.08839.sf%40sfritsch.de%3E 
but I didn't have enough cycles to finish and commit those, yet.

Of course, this should not prevent anyone from committing improvements to 
the mpm-event-optimization branch.
