Hi there, on http://www.caucho.com/articles/benchmark.html you mention the
following:
<quote>
Apache configurations used Apache 1.3.9. All modules were compiled with DSO
support.

Why has this been done?
On http://www.apache.org/docs/dso.html you can find a few disadvantages of
DSO:
<quote>
The server is approximately 5% slower at execution time under some platforms
because position independent code (PIC) sometimes needs complicated
assembler tricks for relative addressing which are not necessarily as fast
as absolute addressing

Please make sure DSO isn't a slowdown factor on your machines, benchmarks
only count for something when done fairly.
Cheers!
