If you haven't tried mod_fcgid, give it a try - it can dramatically benefit PHP applications. And with mod_fcgid, you can use apache with a multi-threaded MPM (i.e. worker-mpm). > Now I'm trying to use new hardware with 2 x Xeon 5320 (quad-core), but > it can not work under the same load as dual-core.

Except for trying 7-STABLE, there's not much you can do. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
