Hi, You know I was all ready on my dev box to start messing around with apache2, when we had a major evil thing happen on our fancy server. So my dev box had to become our server. And because I have not had any personal experence with apache 2, I converted everthing back to 1.x on the dev box.
But you are right of course, I should not just assume because of hearsay that Apache2 will be faster. But between the threading, and the file cache module I *hope* it is faster :) Here is one kind of old thing I found on google: http://www.zend.com/lists/php-dev/200202/msg01675.html They are focused on PHP, but it seems like there might be some problems with the DSO only stuff. Weird that it is not easier to find stuf, I would have expected millions of hits on google for this. I will definatly will work on a better test with static and mod_perl once we get our fancy server back and post it to the list. But I can't believe someone on this list hasn't done that already.

Apache 2.0 should scale better when threads are used (on >platforms where threads are faster than processes) and it's definitely a must >for win32, but I haven't seen any numbers other than some reports to the >httpd-dev list, so I don't know.
