The server could dispatch several requests to different tasks or it could process the requests syncronously consuming several tasks for one request. Here goes yet another set of names: - Repeated forking heavyweight processing server. - Multiple forked heavyweight processing server. - Lightweight processing server. Also, multi-threaded or asyncronous could be added for clarification in some contexts. The "lightweight processing server" says nothing about the time of creation of the processing tasks, or about the "lightness" of the thread of control, except that it should not be as resource consuming that the "heavyweight" model.
