Compile mod_perl with PERL_STARTUP_DONE_CHECK as Randy pointed out

Apache comes with a tool called "ab" which can be used to stress the server.
I only have used it on Unix so far and I don't know if you can compile it on
NT (it's in apache_x.x.x/src/support)
> 3.) Is it worth about thinking to turn to a Unix system?
Since all mod_perl requests on NT are serialized and Unix can handle
multiple processes simultaously, all your perl script will perform better on
Unix.

NT has a Tool called "Systemmonitor", this could be used to monitor such
things.

Apache::DBI saves the time to connect to a database, some databases doesn't
need much time to connect, then there isn't much saving, others like Orcale,
need very long for every connect (2 secs on my PIII 350Mhz), so you can't
really work without Apache::DBI.
