Thanks Josh, I will take a look. I did some serious fine tuning in the robots.txt file and that has cut down the cpu usage a bit (running about 0.25-1.00 1 minute load now), so was looking at the memory footprint of the httpd process itself.
Anyways, thank for the link, reading it now. -G ----- Original Message ----- From: Joshua Slive To: users@httpd.apache.org ; Grant Peel Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 10:04 AM Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Leaner httpd On 5/14/07, Grant Peel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > my server has been running at a rather high load lately, as well as swapping > a bit. > > I was thinking its time to consider removing some of the DSO entries.

To figure out if a module can be removed, just go to its page in the documentation and see if you are using any of its features/directives. That can't be done over a mailing list, although it does look like there are at least a dozen modules there that you probably aren't using. A list of the core modules that almost everyone uses is here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/perf-tuning.html#modules As far as how much that will help, my guess is that it will have a relatively small effect. When you are using heavy-duty stuff like php and cgi, all the tuning you can imagine in apache is going to be washed out by the overhead of your dynamic content. It still may be worthwhile to clean up unused modules in order to save a little memory, but it won't have a large effect. If performance is inadequate you need to either optimize your dynamic content or get more hardware.
