I've used that and it seems to work well enough, but my concern is that 
if scaled large enough it may be even better to not have a single 
instance handling all connections.

Admittedly this is completely theoretical for me at the moment.  I don't 
have any project I'm working on right now that needs to solve the C10k 
problem.  I'm just hoping to ensure that if/when I come up with 
something really successful, I will have built it on a toolkit that can 
scale.  And when we consider Eve Online, we know scripting languages are 
up for the task; I'd just like to have confidence LiveCode is one of them.

Good lead to add to my studies.  Thanks.
