How many instances of Apache are running? What version of Apache are you running? Have you updated the kernel and other system software? Have you considered "load balancing" - putting the SWAP and /tmp and /var on a completely different physical drive? Have you turned off all unnecessary services so that the server is JUST a webserver? -- stephen kuhn mobile: 0410-728-389 illawarra and regional new south wales ----------------------------------------------- GNU/Linux/OpenSource Solutions and Alternatives 100% Microsoft Free and no viruses Registered Linux User # 267497 Windows: Where do you want to go today?
