I am not sure what exactly the definition of "thread per connection" model
is, but I assume this means a new thread is _created_ for every connection
(?)

What I did was to have the main thread accept incomming requests, and put
them in the queue, whereas a number of worker threads was taking these
requests from the queue, and execute them.  I don't see how this model can
be absolutely inferior in all possible contexts.
