Pound vs. PLB

Hi all,

I'm searching for the best load balancer. I found Pound and it looks 
great, but I thing it has high overhead, because of thread model. I use 
flood tool from Apache Group and get static content at 1418req/s without 
any balancer (at my localhost 2.6.9, Apache 1.3.). With Pound it is only 
466req/s (I think it is create thread overhead). PLB makes 1438req/s.

But PLB doesn't have session support, that I need. 

My questions:
Is it possible to speedup current version of Pound with using modified 
kernel or threading library?

Is there any patch that use event library or asynchronous processing?

Thanks a lot
Tomas Kolda
