Hello, I have Apache/mod_perl installed on a NT box, and I am allowing customers to do downloads of High-Resolution assets. My problem is the speed of downloads is about 1/3 slower than the same box running IIS. IT dept, has confirmed that the network is not the issue, and we have ran tests for the past week. The conclusion we have drawn is for some reason, when we point to a static HTML file on the docroot of the Apache running mod-perl server that it takes 2/3 times longer to download a file than on IIS.
The test is taking a 50mb file and placing it in the doc root of the IIS and Apache/htdocs. Then just having a href link pointing to it. We have ruled out the firewall and any networking. Does anyone have any clues what to try? One thought here was to go to 2.0, but we don't know if that will screw up the mod-perl that is built for the Apache 1.3.20 and Ron Savages mod_perl binary. Any info would certainly be appreciated. Scott Purcell
