Re: [PHP-INSTALL] FastCGI v.s DSO w/ Apache 2 (Linux)

I have been using DSO with apache v2. It has been quite good. I would
recommend
that you do the following to max the speed.

1) Custom compile the kernel and system. This has the flollowing benefits:
a) Removing things like sound support and extra drivers will reduce the
kernels fingerprint in memory.
b) Since you are compiling the kernel for whatever CPU you have (AMD in my
case) it will also help with speed. Especially for encyrption (OpenSSL, etc)

My primary system is a AMD 3200+ with 2 Gigs of ram running FreeBSD
4.8. Custom
Kernel build to support the specific hardware and cards. I have never had an
y
speed problems. I am currently investigating the Tyan ADM Opteron board.

The system runs:
OpenLDAP (All Auth comes from here)
MySQL
2 apache Web Servers (Http and Https)
Snort
Sendmail w/spamassassin and MIMEDefang
Cryus IMAPD
Currently my sites firewall


I hope that helps,
Michael
