Lighttpd

Yes I'm experiencing the same thing.

Same here, any suggestions?

it seems that as soon as server.max-connections is hit lighttpd becomes very busy turning new connections away, easily jumping to 100% cpu load.

this is on linux, observed with several machines

this seems to be an artifact of the following code in network.c

/* accept()s at most 100 connections directly
 *
 * we jump out after 100 to give the waiting connections a chance */
    for (loops = 0; loops < 100 && NULL != (con = connection_accept(srv, srv_socket)); loops++) {
        handler_t r;

connection_state_machine(srv, con);

in connection_accept, a check is made if the number of server connections have been exceeded.

perhaps a fix here would be to avoid going into that loop at all when

srv->conns->used >= srv->max_conns.
