When SMTP transactions are measured in seconds, "faster" really doesn't matter unless you're talking about how quickly you can fail a bad connection. The big win with Apache::Qpsmtpd over forkserver at Apache, IIRC, was in measuring the ratio of forks to connections. With forkserver, the ratio is 1-1, whereas with Apache::Qpsmptd it's configurable within httpd, and for apache is on the order of 1 fork per 5000 connections. -- Joe Schaefer
