True, but the perchild mpm is really rough. I was trying it yesterday and
it looks like it needs some serious work. We also have to realize that
the target market here is the big-ass ISP and they are traditionally slow
to upgrade so it will be a good long while before they are going to go
anywhere near Apache2+perchild. We still need to work towards getting
this stable and useful, but it is not the solution for 6-months from now
in my opinion. More like 18-months out.
