Do you say that while a process is still running to parse a first
request, the engine start automatically new ones to process the
supplementary incoming querys ? If yes, it's just what i need. But, if i
understand that this is trougth in console-cgi mode, i'm still not sure
that it's the case in the way you know i use mc (as web apps long
running process engine) :in waiting for tcp/ip sockets listeners
requests on port xxxx and replying to them. 

For me, but i would be happy to be mistaking there (say it, if it's the
case), all incoming requests are processed one after each other, by the
main mc process i lauched once to activate the web service binded to the
port xxxx. In fact, i figured me out that this mc process was just
acting alike a postcript printer queue engine acts. Am i false, there ?

Sure... and i will probably use extensivelly thoses features if SSL
become directly available from inside MC !
