As mentioned previously, due to the blocking semantics of file I/O on unix, single process servers will only provide peak throughput if everything is resident. By pre-forking, data can continued to be served if one process blocks on file I/O. Apache already handles multiple connections within a process, so it does something like this already. -Kip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
