Maybe its more relevant to linux-future. But I do think its a useful
discussion, because it shows what areas linux needs to be better at
(IF it is true that in-kernel servers right now are much faster).

But single-threaded servers don't SMP scale. Maybe if you put a thread on
each CPU and balance requests ?

exactly. but it MIGHT provide useful benchmark results and profiling info
on what pars of the kernel we need to optimize.
