It's only a guess, and I don't care enough to go through the code for evidence. I think people generally underestimate the complexity of HTTP and the difficulty of writing a bug-free network server based on it. Apache HTTPD is the result of years worth of debugging, and I wouldn't trade it for a recently developed server. I also remember Matt Sergeant discovering that with AxKit if he created a mod_perl alternative that had no hooks at all for the Apache API stages (e.g. auth) that it was measurably faster than mod_perl. I don't think we'd want to trade the hooks for more speed though. All that being said, there's always room for improvement in performance and I'm sure mod_perl could be faster with some optimization work. - Perrin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@perl.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@perl.apache.org
