I don't claim to be an expert on the topic, I just determine what I need to get the job done, so to speak... So take the following with a grain of salt. I think the biggest difference between the two is threads support. Version 1.x spawns new processes for each request, while Version 2.x can be set up to do the same, or use multithreading. Any performance penalties/gains won't be noticed unless you are handling very high volume servers. A number of Apache applications are out there (like PHP), that may or may not work well with the newer threading model. But, the newer threading model results in better performance and scalability (?). My thoughts... Shawn ps. I like discussions like this - I get to dump what knowledge I have, and get corrected by others more in the know when needed :). Somehow I learn more from this than reading a book..
