[orbitz@REDACTED]

Well I don't have any evidence for you but testing it shouldn't be  
too hard.  Run yaws or some other application on Windows and nail  
it.  I am under the impression erlang will fair well.  The  
implementatino should use IOCP which is supposed to handle large  
numbers of sockets fairy efficiently.
