Solaris 10
Apache version: 2.2.11 & 2.2.17 (32 &64 bit)

We recently moved our production webserver from a sparc platform (T2000) to an 
x86/64 platform (x2270-m2) and we have noticed an erratic response time for 
downloads of files using SSL. This seems to randomly occur with any files about 
10k or larger. For instance, I have been using a test file of 140K, and it can 
take 0.5 or 4.8 seconds to transfer. When using the sparc platform, it always 
only takes 0.5 seconds.

I noticed this as we are using an external monitoring system (Gomez.com) and we 
started seeing these wildly varying times for transaction processing.

I have tried a cut down SSL setup for testing, and examined every directive and 
option, and I can't make sense of the problem. I'm using the following 
configuration string, and I'd be happy to include the configuration setups..

./configure --prefix=/app/www/apache-2.2.11_32 --with-mpm=worker --enable-ssl 
--with-apr=/app/apr-1.3.3-32 --with-apr-util=/app/apr-1.3.3-32 
--enable-mods-shared="headers expires deflate"

Server version: Apache/2.2.17 (Unix)
Server built:   Jan  5 2011 15:56:01
Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:25
Server loaded:  APR 1.3.3, APR-Util 1.3.4
Compiled using: APR 1.3.3, APR-Util 1.3.4
Architecture:   32-bit
Server MPM:     Worker
  threaded:     yes (fixed thread count)
    forked:     yes (variable process count)
Server compiled with....
 -D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/worker"
 -D APR_HAS_SENDFILE
 -D APR_HAS_MMAP
 -D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled)
 -D APR_USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZE
 -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
 -D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
 -D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD

 -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
 -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types"
 -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"

I can move the bare-bones configuration between the sparc and x86 platforms and 
get normal response on the sparc, and irregular on the x86.

Any help would be appreciated.
