Hi all,


Thanks for all the advice. I found out what the problem was - it
wasn't related to mod_perl at all (web4 was hard-coded to retrieve
some dynamic data from an old, slow backend, hence the speed
difference).


A few weeks after I removed the hard-coded backend, I found that
mod_perl runs slightly faster on Fedora Core 3 than Fedora Core 1. The
FC3 server does around 250,000 hits a day while the others do around
200,000 hits per day (our load balancer weights servers based on how
fast they respond).


Just thought I should put this in for the archives.


Regards,
