That's BS. Anyone is free to download tcpserver without any
acknowledgements. If you don't like the ucspi-tcp license you can use
ipsvd.
But this is by the by, since forkserver doesn't use tcpserver.
I think you mean to refer to supervise. If you don't like supervise's
license, use runit. If you don't like supervise/runit, start forkserver
from inittab.
Then with forkserver I had to jump through some hoops to set up ulimit
properly ...
If ulimit bothers you, don't use it.
I have apache running on these systems already for other reasons ...
Not everyone does. But your reasons for preferring one start script to
another are beside the point. I'm merely trying to discover the details
and the basis of assertions about performance.
As to the overall efficiency and speed, I'd really figure that -async can
lay a beat-down on anything that doesn't select() socket arrays.
That's speculation, not benchmarking.
