I was just benchmarking my server, and I tried benchmarking with the ab
that comes with Apache 2.0 (.16). I get ridiculously slow numbers:
This is ApacheBench, Version 1.3e <$Revision: 1.69 $> apache-2.0

But when I benchmark with Apache 1.3.19 ab, I get much more realistic
numbers:

It's just serving up a static html file, nothing spectacular. Any ideas
what might be causing these huge differences? Is this something to look
at? Thanks!
