Actually, I think NIO is pointless. First, the API is more complex and not GC friendly, but more importantly, APR is already in production pretty much everywhere inside httpd.

OTOH, NIO is implemented as a bunch of native code inside the JVM, so it results in having more native code, and it's also more difficult to maintain (if you run into an NIO bug, there's no way to fix it except to update the whole JVM).
