But that's exactly *why* the speed of the client is important. If
your client is slow, say a 28.8 modem in Sri Lanka, then your httpd is
stuck spoon-feeding the client until all data is transferred. Would
you rather that spoon-feeding be done by a 30Mb mod_perl server or a
512kb proxy server? Now, multiply the spoon-feeders by 100 and
re-evaluate your decision.
