Not sure what persistent connection have to do with content length [1], but you can always use "Chunked Transfer" to avoid computing the content length altogether:

Using ApacheBench simulating 10K requests from 10 clients, LuaWeb [2] handles around 150 requests per seconds for dynamic content. Not stelar, but good enough for its humble purpose :)
