I'd like to first figure out why the lock code is faster independently (by the Stevens test - I know he was getting like 50% better performance), but httpd became *slower* when actually used. Things that make httpd slower don't make me very happy. =-) I'm chatting with Aaron to see what's up with this and if I can reproduce his results. I'm scratching my head at this. -- justin
