+
+ The event MPM is designed to allow more requests to be served simultaneously
+ by passing off some processing work to supporting threads, freeing up the
+ main threads to work on new requests. It is especially suitable for sites
+ that see extensive KeepAlive traffic.
+
+ This MPM is experimental and less tested than the worker and prefork MPMs."
