Faster, lighter and elsewhere

I have been slowly making progress on AOS, mostly in performance and stability area, so not much to update. I run AOS as my personal web/app server and it has been putting up amazing uptimes. It starts with the OS, leaks no memory and restarts with OS, no incidents of watchdog restarts at all. This is a good thing, given that a large part of the requests are mangled headers, zombie scans, search engine robot scan and other non-website related traffic.

While the product is very niche to websites that require the fastest execution of code or native integration with existing C/C++ code, it still surprises me when I get a comment/feedback email from a place where I did not think this would be used.

The only thing I have changed in the last few months was to upgrade the solution/project files to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, those will be part of the next release or if you need them sooner, email me and I'll put them up.
