I've been using Apache 1.3beta for about 2 months now, configured to use =
mmap()
(very similar, if not identical to what somebody posted to current-users =
about
a month ago), and have seen no problems.  Subjectively, it seems like I'm
getting better performance than w/o the mmap() configured into Apache, bu=

haven't done any tests to be sure.  I have two machines running this, one=

Count at least one vote for modifying the default NetBSD apache config to=
 use
mmap.
