WTF are you talking about? No single-root is necessary: web servers
support multi-rooted PKI all the time (they are called "Certificate
Authorities"), and most web servers (or the OSs on which they run)
ship with an unbelievably-long list of CA roots (and intermediate
certs) from which you can get a valid server certificate.

If you want to be able to read the certificate with your own eyes,
stick to PEM: it makes it much easier to do things like have multiple
certificates in a single file (say, for adding intermediate certs
required by your CA).

I don't think anyone is concerned about how long it takes to decode a
1 kilobyte file a single time over the life of a web server process.
Once decoded, the encryption speed has nothing to do with the file
format used to store the certificate(s) on disk.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Of course he'll protect non-static content. I was explaining that the
APR connector will improve performance for both static content
(because of the use of sendFile) and even non-static content because
SSL is faster through APR as well.

Seriously, please stop polluting this list with your incessant noise.
