maybe you have not much expierience and not watching error-logs on servers with some hundret domains on our machines 99% of any web-apps is *carefully* written inhouse there are always mistakes resulting in a lot of 404 which people building templates and inclduing modules mostly not realize this starts with no "favicon.ico" in the docroot while most "modern" browsers try to access them without a link-tag and so your first delay is on the homepage itself looking at the crap-quality of the most common webapps the situation is much more worse - well, this all does affect you only if you have load and traffic on your machine but then it hurts really _____________________ i had a large project 2 years ago where some hundret people where in front of their machine with a webcam, the application generated thumbnails which where shown on the page and cleanup routines to get rid of the thumbs of no longer active users we worked hard to optimize all the code to get as less as possible 404 errors while bot fill the disks, the overall connection count was very very high while the braodcast show connected to the app was on air, the load was very high but all ran smooth with 500 apache workers with the proposal of this thread the server would not have survived 10 minutes by have all wroker-processes in this useless wait-state for zero benefit if someone is paranoid enough he may setup such nonsense but do not believe you heal the world this way
