NIO and APR use one thread per currently processing request. BIO uses one thread per connection. Since usually connections >> currently processing request, NIO and APR scale better. BIO has slightly better raw performance than NIO (excluding sendfile). APR and NIO support sendfile. APR has much better SSL performance. NIO and APR support Comet, BIO does not. As with anything performance related, YMMV. The only way to be sure is to test it.
