Hi,
Recently I've upgraded one of our mod_perl servers to Fedora Core 3 (the others are all running Fedora Core 1). What I've found is that the Fedora Core 3 machine is consistently slower to respond than the Fedora Core 1 machines: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# for f in web1 web2 web3 web4; do echo $f; time lynx -source "http://$f/cgi-bin/data.cgi?id=1268"; > /dev/null ; echo ; done web1 real 0m0.681s user 0m0.010s sys 0m0.020s web2 real 0m0.641s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.010s web3 real 0m0.626s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.010s web4 real 0m0.987s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.010s Our load balancer has picked this up as well and adjusted the weight of the server accordingly, so it is definately consistently slower. We're using the Fedora Perl packages (perl-5.8.3-16 on FC1, perl-5.8.5-9 on FC3), but I have compiled Apache and mod_perl on all the machines from source, with the following command: perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.31/src DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 APACI_ARGS='--prefix=/www' make && make test && make install All four machines are using Apache 1.3.31 and mod_perl 1.29 and run on identical hardware (P4 3.06Ghz, 3GB RAM). The only reason we're using Fedora Core 3 on the 4th one is because the SCSI firmware version is different and doesn't work under Fedora Core 1. Any advice on this would be much appreciated.
