Rasmus, I see much better performance with Apache 2. I'm not an expert in the internals of Apache nor PHP but I guess one of the improvements in apache is the log mechanism, I think it use a different technique that makes it faster that Apache 1.3
The reason I say this is because Apache 1.3 log are written in perfect order according to the time field. I Apache 2 the logs are not ordered so you can have something like this: 172.20.15.138 - - [06/Jan/2005:09:43:55 -0500] 192.168.149.42 - - [06/Jan/2005:09:43:55 -0500] 192.168.150.27 - - [06/Jan/2005:09:43:55 -0500] 172.16.113.22 - - [06/Jan/2005:09:43:53 -0500] 192.1.20.197 - - [06/Jan/2005:09:43:54 -0500] 192.168.172.20 - - [06/Jan/2005:09:43:55 -0500] 192.168.150.66 - - [06/Jan/2005:09:43:55 -0500] This is extracted from my production server with FC3 Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 4.3.9 -William El mié, 05-01-2005 a las 04:58 -0800, Rasmus Lerdorf escribió: > Lester Caine wrote: > > Sebastian wrote: > >> I know everything has cons/pros but i am just looking for advice on > >> whether > >> my site will benifit from the upgrade.
