Apache2 is multithreaded and works better under higher loads with a smaller memory footprint. If you have 300 simul connections under apache 1.3 you need 300 forks. The same load under apache 2 runs under 300 threads. With Linux 2.6 threads are very lightweight and in terms of system resources very inexpensive to start.

Under a high load spike Apache 2 would, in theory, respond better.

I have read at various places on the web that Apache 2 and PHP running

PHP 4/5 and Apache2 in a high load production environment with success?
If so, whats your configuration?


I don't have any experiences to share with you about PHP5 and Apache2
except that I'm using them on a server at home so I can play with
Mojavi 3.

But I got a question for you.. What does Apache2 have that you need
feature-wise that Apache doesn't have already? Just curious is all. :)
