Perhaps I haven't expressed myself too clearly, since I think there's a misunderstanding here. I was saying that I find it bad to tell people that they should only use "prefork" as the MPM in Apache, especially not providing a good explanation for that. I am not critical of the worker MPM, in fact I was saying that I rather like it and I have used in different places. There are new MPMs for apache, in development that also look quite promising, should they reach a stable implementation. Depending on the nature of your application and the code that's being used, you can have significant gains, depending on the module and configuration being used. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
