> Given the chocie of constructing the Template object once per child versus constructing it in the apache root process (before forking) and letting it be shared, is there any advantage of one approach over the other?
Theoretically, you might share a little more memory by doing it before the fork, but in practice I found it was not a noticeable savings. Definitely load the Template modules from startup though. I actually pull in all of the ones I use, including plugins, to maximize sharing. - Perrin
