Done. real 0m0.336s user 0m0.252s sys 0m0.040s Now edited httpd.conf to exclude vhosts.conf but include conf/test/*.conf time ./rc.httpd start Starting Apache... Done. real 0m1.087s user 0m0.284s sys 0m0.040s so half a second more reading 400 odd individual files, so over 2000 it would take a few seconds more, in nit picking, yes it would be worse off, if you can call 3 or so seconds more, worse off :)
