Simple pathological test server designed to reproduce bad TCP accept() performance. Often observed in virtualized servers (Xen among others).

There's a Server Fault question asked about this particular topic, see: http://serverfault.com/questions/272483/why-is-tcp-accept-performance-so-bad-under-xen

To run this test:

1. Install Java and Apache Bench
2. Download the JAR from the downloads section
3. Run java -server -jar tcp-accept-server-1.0.0.jar
4. Warm up the JIT with keep-alive on ab -n 100000 -c 10 -k http://127.0.0.1:8080/
5. Execute the test
   ab -n 100000 -c 20 http://127.0.0.1:8080/
   On a modern, decent machine you should see +25000 req/s. But on a virtualized server (Xen) this always is below 10k req/s.
