thanks! :-)
But I can confirm that many people report needing to turn KeepAlive off to get reasonable performance from apache.
like Bill, I'm curious to know any details. I'm guessing: * this is more of a 1.3 issue, * the servers are constrained by memory, processes, or threads, and * "KeepAlive off" makes it hurt less.
It might be interesting to see the KeepAlive off case along-side the current implementation and the event-drive implementation in benchmarking in order to prove that this really wins.
yep. At the moment I think work needs to be done to reduce the overhead in passing a socket to the event thread before getting really serious about benchmarking. But yes it should be benchmarked before too long. Something like Kegel's web site suggests (4K download every second per simulated user) would be interesting.
