My bench mark is the http-static-module, that is, I want to run at least as much load on my module as the static module can without errors. I'm also (for now) keeping the default number of worker processes (1) and worker connections (1024), but more on that later.

What did you exactly know about buffers and picking up connections?

This all sounds like your module is taking focus and computes something 
for a long time (more than 10 msec) without giving focus back. This way 
when buffers are full there's no one to pick connections from them so 
any connection will time out without response. It's just because your 
module is written so.

You can:

1. On FreeBSD you can try to increase kern.ipc.somaxconn. I bet 8192 
would be enough for your test. This is socket backbuffer which can cache 
connections before server actually accepts them.

2. Try shed some light on your module internals. Right now I can only 
say that you certainly messed something inside main loop but can't tell 
you what and why.
