I think its myth. Anyway, if speed is your concern, Apache may not be the best option. I believe Zeus is much faster, and I know thttpd is faster (though not as configurable) I think probably the best thing to do if you are looking for free server software is to use Apache 2.x beta- I haven't yet, but I believe php builds against it just fine, and Apache 2.x has a lot of speed advantages over 1.3.x (or so I've been led to believe) *snip* -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Michael A.
