More memory but potentially faster, correct? Since we don't have to spawn as many processes to accommodate a load? Although i don't use worker MPM since the codebase I adopted is not thread safe, I would investigate if it was an option. Memory is fairly cheap and, with my web servers (without DB's on it - just web servers) with 32 gigs of RAM.....speed is more important.
Plus, of course, "threads" ge "optimization silver bullet"....right? =) On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 11:16 AM, Perrin Harkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 6:46 AM, André Warnier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>>> - A surprising number of people are running mod_perl under the worker >>>> MPM. >> >> What is so surprising about this ?
