Hi all, Thanks for all the advice. I found out what the problem was - it wasn't related to mod_perl at all (web4 was hard-coded to retrieve some dynamic data from an old, slow backend, hence the speed difference). A few weeks after I removed the hard-coded backend, I found that mod_perl runs slightly faster on Fedora Core 3 than Fedora Core 1. The FC3 server does around 250,000 hits a day while the others do around 200,000 hits per day (our load balancer weights servers based on how fast they respond). Just thought I should put this in for the archives. Regards, -- Alex
