Apache 1.3.36, Apache 2.0.58 or Apache 2.2.2


Any thoughts my friends?

Anyone ran a benchmark against all three and found out which configuration provides for most efficient use?

People seem to have differing opinions all of a sudden with the latest updates since 1.3.33 and 2.0.54, back then it was 1.3 was 50% faster..... how about now?

Or other webservers, like lighttpd compared to these three?

I am currently using it to run a vbulletin forum that gets over 2000 conncurrent users. I saw a big improvement over 1.3 with it.

Note that PHP is not compatible with multi-threaded MPMs such as worker. So if you're using PHP as an Apache module (DSO), then prefork is the only supported/safe choice.
