#7Web servers are limited in the number of concurrent connections they can maintain (tubes aren’t big enough).
This doesn't really make sense -- maintaining a TCP connection requires no "tubes"; the limit comes from finite state storage: a finite state table, a finite number of file descriptors, and a finite amount of RAM in which to store the application-level connection contexts. These numbers turn out to be Really Fucking Big, so this is probably not affecting your application unless you are Google's IMAP servers or something.

By "maintain", he likely means that bandwidth to any particular server is constrained. Yes, you may be able to hold 10k connections open on your Wifi'd laptop, but if each connection only gets 1B/s is it really a useful webserver?

I think they'll do this. They spoke to me about adding phc support, so I expect HPHP to be on their roadmap.
