I'm getting a rather odd situation on one of our boxes: spec ---- Sun OS 5.6/solaris2.6 Apache 1.3.11 mod_perl 1.2.1 We've got a sitation where mod_perl intensive pages seem to severely knock our idle time - which in it self probably isn't bad, however is it also reflected by noticable latency on apache itself, together with a large number of libhttpd.ep processes. This isn't specific to any one chunk of perl either. I'd think this would be a shared library thing (although I wouldn't know what?) - however we have a simlarly set up box which runs fine ; the only exception being that it was set up with mod_perl 1.2401. The second server runs without ever displaying libhttpd.ep in its process list. So I'm kind of at a loss. Is this a version thing? Has anyone experienced anything of this nature? Thought I'd check before updating versions. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
