Package: apache2-mpm-threadpool Severity: minor The current apache2-mpm-threadpool description is misleading. It metnions that it is an experimental implementation. However it also claims that "It is somewhat faster and less CPU intensive than the worker model." According to the [1]most recent apache documentation, this is no longer the case:
"The threadpool MPM can't match the performance of the worker MPM in benchmark testing. As of 2.0.39, some of the key load-throtting concepts from the threadpool MPM have been incorporated into the worker MPM. The threadpool code is useful primarily as a research platform. For general-purpose use and for any production environments, use worker instead." It seems to me that this description would be more appropriate for the Debian package than the current Debian package description. At the very least, it would be less misleading with respect to performance, and more explicit about recommending worker for "general-purpose use and for any production environments".
