Why in the world is DSO the preferred method? Is this documented somewhere?

In apache document.

I find DSO useful for testing and development, but for deployment it makes little sense to be using DSO, the cost of 60 seconds of compile is negligible when looking at something that will be installed for timeframes exceeding a day or two, especially for larger server farms.

The benefit of DSO is loading modules without compile whole apache. For instance, I would like to use info or status module when I have problem with my web servers, but I don't want to enable them all the time. -- Yasuo Ohgaki
