http://www.issociate.de/board/index.php?t=msg&th=79422&rid=0):
It's about 3 times faster than the qpsmtpd-forkserver that
ships with qpsmtpd.
Has anything significant changed with Apache::Qpsmtpd or forkserver since
then? Was that test valid?
Who can say? We don't know what testing was done, nor what Matt means
exactly by "faster".
For me, I think that Apache::Qpsmtpd is probably a very fine thing, but
unless I see a performance problem with my installation, I'll stick with
the simplicity and stability of forkserver.
