Generally you should always switch off keepalive on a high-load server. > Or long static files which take forever to download without using CPU > but that could easily be off-loaded to a light-weight http daemon. And generally you should never use Apache to server up static files. Akamai does a nice job of getting static files onto a fast server closer to the end user. I realize Akamai is not available to most, but use the same idea. Dedicated tuned servers for static content. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
