Hmm, what Apache uses sendfile for?


It uses it to send static content to client. Quote from Apache 2 docs:

"In situations where Apache 2.0 can ignore the contents of the file to be delivered -- for example, when serving static file content -- it normally uses the kernel sendfile support the file if the OS supports the |sendfile(2)| operation."

"On most platforms, using sendfile improves performance by eliminating separate read and send mechanics."

Best Wishes,
