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.
