: My personal observation has been that most webservers do mostly static : stuff, with a small percentage of dynamic behaviour. For example, even if : they have lots of CGI etc, often a big part of the page (bandwidth-wise) : tend to be pictures etc.
This is true for most web servers. However, most web servers are idle so we don't care about them.
If you look at busy web servers, they are much more slanted towards parsed html and cgi scripts. The busy web servers are all getting polluted with advertising and the advertising is typically parsed html so that it can either select a new add or try and select an add based on user interest. sendfile() isn't going to help there.
Don't get me wrong, I think sendfile() is a great thing, I am just pointing out that all the other stuff that Linux deos in terms of light weight context switches, etc., will remain very important.
