Chris, I can get yum to pull 2.2.15-26.el6, but it is missing mod_ssl and mod_jk. I can see 2.2.15-28.el6_4, but yum will not perform the update for me to verify the modules. Once I resolve this (should be easy) issue is resolved I can verify the performance differences in Linux. Patches may become interesting after normal work/issues are resolved.

No problem: it happens. I'm just curious: why are you compiling httpd yourself? RedHat should supply decent binaries including mod_so for pluggable module support, and they should be reasonably optimized for your platform. Long ago, people wanting to squeeze every ounce of speed out of httpd would statically-compile everything do remove a later of indirection. At the time, I thought that was silly because it made deployments a pain in the neck. These days, I think everyone who doesn't like modularized-httpd just jumps-ship and goes to nginx or lighttpd, right? Or maybe you are hacking httpd and just want to provide a patch. That would be great! - -chris
