This is not the place to discuss Microsoft design decision. Please use a general purpose mailing list or newsgroup for that topic. Please focus on ICS !

You seem to be right and I can understand why Apache has chosen threaded way
(for UNIX compatibility) but why did MS chose threads? What about I/O
optimization. For example async freezes when a buffer of I/O is being read
whereas threads to better disk/socket I/O?
