I looked closely at the benchmarks Joseph had done and the only conclusion I could make was that he hadn't run them long enough to make me feel that there was really any problem. His running times were in the 1 to 2 second range. Apache 1.2 has the throttled child start thing whereas apache 1.1 doesn't have it... so if you're benchmarking in such a short amount of time it's entirely likely you'll see that difference. The tests that 1.1.3 was performing much better on involved 100 simultaneous clients, 1 request each... on a default server (start 5, minspare 5, maxspare 10). 1.2 faired the same on the tests involving only 1 client w/100 requests.
While I would agree that 1.2's child mgmt stuff isn't the greatest... I also don't think it's bad. I'm succesfully running two servers with HARD_SERVER_LIMIT=1024... the big problem I see at that number of children is that mod_status takes too long :) Dean On Tue, 15 Apr 1997, Marc Slemko wrote: > What!??!
