I’ve been running the same apache server for several years now. As a matter of fact, the 10 or 12 sites I kind of run are all running on this server  - the first server I ever built five years ago. I had no idea what I was doing, but I tinkered like a mad man.

Now I’m realizing it’s time to do a rebuild using some newer hardware and a more efficient build.. with lots less “chmod 777 *” kind of stuff going on. (When I started I discovered that chmod 777 fixes a lot!)

Anyway, here’s the output of my current ab (apache benchmark) profile. I plan to re-post the profile when I complete the server migration to see if I’ve picked up any speed… if I don’t pick up speed, I’m out of the server business! (not really)

This is ApacheBench, Version 2.0.40-dev <$Revision: 1.146 $> apache-2.0
