there is not too much to optimize in terms of performance in ser/openser 
right now. But there are some minor ones in openser, e.g., in 
development branch -- many new request methods have now id and you can 
use is_method() from text ops to do integer comparison instead of 
ignore-case string comparison as it is in 'if(method=="xxx")'.

Another one is 'return' and 'exit' which avoid complex scripting 
statements to exit from script. Also, the 'switch' statement is faster 
than a chain of "if" statements (anyhow this is related to 'return').

The big improvements are in terms of new features. Just take a look at 
roadmap and news in the web site or in ChangeLog file.
