...like what? There may be legacy applications that only have Apache 1.x modules, but I'm not aware of things that you can do with Apache 1 that are no longer supported in Apache 2. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/new_features_2_0.html

But yes, I do think 2.* is
faster...over all, and everything else being the same.

Oh, and the default apple server install uses apache 1.*, not 2.*.
Version 2 is included, but is not configured. The server tools configures
version 1.*. In order to use version 2, you have to configure it manualy,

Actually, with Tiger, you have to do more than manually configure. You have to recompile Apache 2 because the Apache 2 that Apple shipped has a bug that limits file downloads to 64K.

This Tiger Apache 2 bug may be what is making you think that you can do more things with Apache 1 than with Apache 2. Is that the case?

then the server admin for apache is toasted. Same thing with using webmin.
Webmin is great for everything _but_ apache.

But again, I'm not bashing iTools version of apache. I haven't used it. I'm
just speaking on the supplied apple apache on client vs. server. (both on
the same hardware and same spects.)

But again, your test doesn't sound like a real world test...

In web server benchmarking, it's very hard to do real-world tests, becuase in practice everyone has different back-end, often platform-specific, processing that affects performance, but can't be compared across platforms. So most web benchmarks, even in major magazine reviews, are usually based on Apache bench style tests -- repeated requests for files of varying sizes.

Do you have suggestions for web server testing or models you can point us to?
