thank you for responding. after some test i got :
with RewriteEngine off : No problem
with RewriteEngine on and no rewrite rules : load grows slowly but it grows
Personally i use a 20 entry rewrite map file (flat text) an rewrite rules
like
RewriteRule ^/+([^/]+)(.*) ${map-file:$1|/$1}$2
(this one use first directory as index in map-file)
so my problem is amplified by such regexp trying to match /'s and
"everything but a /" in a 8000 slaches line.
