[erlang-questions] Curiosity about MochiWeb (no questions this time)

[AJ Heller]

Mochiweb spawns a pool of short-lived processes (from the
`mochiweb_acceptor` module), and re-spawns new acceptor processes when
each finishes/times-out. The default settings are: 16 processes are
alive at a time, and they timeout after 2 seconds.

I did some analysis of the Mochiweb code a while back. There's a
diagram at the bottom of the page that lays out the program flow.
