information.

Yes, this page is really *really* outdated.
IMHO we should consider removing it or at least adding a note that
the stuff is outdated.


If it's badly outdated, we should either fix it or remove it.  The net
has too much outdated information on it already :-)  The outdated page
would still be in subversion if anyone wants to work on it later.

That said, it looks to me as if much of the information there is still
relevant, such as the Run-time Configuration section.  It seems worth
preserving.



Then here is my suggestion :
We can keep this page, and remove these sections totally :
accept Serialization - multiple sockets
accept Serialization - single socket
Lingering Close
Scoreboard File
Appendix: Detailed Analysis of a Trace

The rest of the page seems accurate enough for me.
I can do it if you guys confirm that is OK for you.

Greetings,

While reviewing Lucien's french translation for the trunk performance 
tuning guide (misc/perf-tuning.xml), it has come to my understanding 
that this document contains extremely old, and probably outdated, 
information.


URL for the HTML version is 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/misc/perf-tuning.html


Of course the document already contains a warning about being irrelevant.

Some sections of the document refer to Apache 1.2 ; my favorite 
extract is probably :
As HTTP/1.1  becomes more prevalent, and all connections are 
persistent, this expense will be amortized over more requests..


Also, a very long section speaks about performance problems when 
multiple Listen directives are set. I would think this has been 
addressed by issuing internal requests (or has it not ?)


I am not competent to review the content of this document myself, but I 
think it deserves it. It would be extremely nice if a developer who 
knows about these could take a bit of time to remove oldies from that page.


BR,

Vincent

PS : however, since the french translation is done and reviewed, I just 
commited it.
