  --(The slowloris script is also a big CPU drain on its own host.  Running it on my opensolaris box, it took around 50% of the CPU (as shown by top(1)) to hold 252 connections open and trickle data.  On linux it was over 99% to hold 1020 connections.  Running both slowloris and apache on the linux box, apache responded effortlessly to /server-status requests while servicing the slowloris attack, all while sharing the <1% of CPU left by slowloris with top and the Gnome desktop.)--
  
- ['''Update: 29.Apr.2011'''] slowloris-perl can be patched (1 line) to reduce CPU drain... (only use 2%, 500 connections in linux-box/threaded, this crash typical server in 15 seconds)
