Tony is right here.. those servers that are under heavy use should not be
run from inetd, since it costs quite a lot of performance. For testing
purposes, I prefer the inetd mechanism though, since I get a "fresh copy"
of the server software - this avoids a process becoming bigger and bigger
due to memory leaks.
