I'm still running apche 1.3.x on an SS2 (40MHz, 96MB RAM).

Startup time of apache is round about 2sec, overall performance ist OK
to fill a 2Mbit line. When it comes to perl/PHP, performance certainly
goes down a lot.

I installed from pkgsrc, no manual optimizing

I have another apache running on a 2.8GHz P4 with 1GB of RAM, startup
time is also a few seconds. But I admit, cgi performance is much
better ;)
