Problems? Of course not (anymore). Of course nobody but Brian Pane has commented on
the
optimization schema to avoid merges of all sorts without introducing conf->pool
corruption.

this schema helps any module be a good citizen in Apache performance, if we adopt these
guidelines. The entire server should pick up a good bit.
Bill - want a fun one line patch? Go find the expand hash fn, and change the hash
