MPM's

by Anonymous (not verified)

FWIW, the "Apache sucks - Lighthttpd rocks" discussion is usually based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how Apache works.

Apache has pluggable backends including several threaded ones - worker, event, etc. And the old-school prefork one. Due to some history and a whole lot of FUD, the default configuration for Apache is usally prefork.

Configuring Apache with a threaded MPM - like Lighthttpd - and stripping away all of its features/loaded modules - like Lighthttpd - will result in performance that's like Lighthttpd.

Not that one is far/better or worse than the other, but it's only fair to compare apples to apples before making assertions ;)
