If you >really want threads move to the apache development release. It does not seem that way. In my tests I have gotten good performance and AOLServer doesn't seem to choke the system like Apache does at around 150 processes. As far as Apache 2.0 is concerned, I have considered it, but I haven't investigated it too heavily because I need something reliable...the version currently under development is bound to have bugs that haven't been fixed and features that haven't been released. I'd prefer to stick with a stable, proven release.
