Bug ID: 64066
Summary: httpd slow on startup/reload when many vhosts are
configured
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Hardware: PC
OS: OpenBSD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2

Configuration load speed improvement
The httpd(8) startup and "graceful restart" time can be very long (~45s) with a
large amount of vhosts (5k), defeating the purpose of "graceful restart" by
causing client timeouts.
This appears to be the result of many calls to ap_find_command() which searches
for a command by walking a simple array of command_rec structures and doing a
string comparison between the name element of the structure and the desired
command name.
To reproduce the issue a configuration with at least 5k vhosts is needed;
with a similar config startup is slow and, after sending USR1 signal httpd(8)
becomes unresponsive for many seconds and this can cause client timeouts.
Httpd already has a hash of directives that is builds internally.
As this was most of the startup time we can avoid the manual array search.
For configurations with many directives this reduces the startup time by at
least an order of magnitude.
