Yeah, I've also left him a comment :)

hmms... In fact if he forks and supports Keep-Alive, i'll be happy.  
Usually you already have a front-end reverse proxy for static  
content, and usually that front-end is able to keep persistent  
connections to the back-end application servers.

So the logic of keeping X number of processes ready to work, can be  
delegated to the front-end.

One example of a front-end reverse proxy with good back-end  
management is Perlbal. Lighttpd (the current SVN stuff) seems to be  
getting good at it too.
