Hi again,
	I did do some testing on a client's xserve as against a 
desktop G5 which had a test iTools on it on their internal network. I 
did NOT test the origial Apache as iTools had already been installed 
on the desktop. Both machines were running OSX 10.4.1 with the latest 
updates.
	There was no difference in the standard output - the Apple 
OSX Server beat iTools one 1 occasion, the iTools machine beat OSX 
Server on 2 occasions, which involved serving a 10MB PDF via HTTP 
over 30 consecutive runs & a separate 200kb HTML file file via http 
over 1000 consecutive runs neither setup was modified from the 
defaults, so it would appear that the performance is on a par with 
OSX server when iTools is installed. Both machines were connected to 
a Netgear 8 port Gigabit 10/100/1000 switch & only a client machine 
was connected.
	The difference that some have seen 'might' be accounted for 
if OSX 10.4 'client' is using Apache 1.3.x & OSX 10.4 'server' is 
using Apache 2.x, which I believe is a little faster.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
