Thanks for sharing! > 1. Set your KeepAliveTimeout to 3 seconds or less. +1. Isn't that documented? I'm surprised! > 2. Turn off atime "accesss time" by using noatime. Interesting! Do you have any insights into how this varies with filesystem and operating system/hardware behaviour? If this comes close to the difference made by .htaccess, I'd be looking at what lies beneath. > 3. Increase your StartServers to the number of maximum requests on your > biggest page. I'm with wrowe on this one: what you're getting is coincidence if anything. Your clients should be using keepalive for objects on a page. Furthermore, what you describe appears to assume prefork MPM, which is unlikely to be the best solution where performance is an issue. > Money and premature optimization is the root of all evil. :-) -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
