After reading an excellent article on Asynchronous processing support in Servlet 3.0 at JavaWorld.com, I have one more reason to use Servlet 3 providers. Just as Jetty Asynchronous REST example shown, real world requets that aggregates several backend call responses benefit from the asynchronous nature by freeing valuable CPU resources, improving server scalability.
Try this with PHP
Kudos for the JSR expert group for making this a standard!
