I didn't know about that performance decrement. As you said, not everything is the performance, but.. it is one of the most important features of Cherokee, and I want it to continue being a key difference over the rest of the servers. As soon as I finish the stuff in which I'm currently working on, I will take a look at the performance. It worth to work on it in order to make Cherokee as fast as possible. Thanks for the feedback Alberto, if you get something new please let me know :-) -- Greetings, alo. _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://www.alobbs.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cherokee
