Can you post your httpd.conf? Or at least the parts of it about threads and processes? It is possible that Apache is just not that fast on NT. NT support is experimental in the 1.3 series. > One thought here was to go to 2.0 You can't run mod_perl 1.x on Apache 2.0. Another thing you could try is having multiple servers. One could handle static requests and proxy the dynamic ones to mod_perl. I don't know if IIS knows how to do this or not, but there's probably something available for NT that does it. - Perrin
