Because geniuses traditionally hate the horrible pile of amateur mistakes, stupid difficulties, and sheer brokenness that is web technology. >;) I wrote rc-httpd in an obsessional phase 11 years ago, then stopped paying attention to it. Remarkably for one of my projects, it turned out well (for a shell-script web server). A couple of years later, sl decided to put cat-v.org onto Plan 9 with rc-httpd, and it promptly got hammered by 4channers. 9front's kernel got some fixes to handle the heavy shell-script load. I think listen(8) got the maxprocs option at that time too. cat-v.org is still on rc-httpd (and werc; a bigger set of shell scripts) so i guess it can't have been too bad, although i don't think the heavy load lasted long.
A point to note when you're configuring your virtual machines: rc-httpd and werc benefit greatly from SMP. Shell pipelines automatically take advantage of it.
