If you'd like, you can set StartServers to anywhere between MinSpareServers and MaxSpareServers. But you'll probably find that, as long as you keep these numbers reasonable, you won't notice any effect on apache performance. > > Another question, when the server is serving a > request, it normally passes the request to the other > modules to process the request, ie, oc4j, perl or php > modules, is this server immediately free to process > another request? Or does it wait for the same request > to come back? It waits. In fact, for many modules, the module processing happens in the same process, so there is no free process anyway. But in any case, apache does not have an event-driven architecture, so it must dedicate a process to each request until the request is done.
