No, at best that will save you a small amount of memory in your TCP stack, at worst it will cause you to lose connections. > What is the impact on the webserver if I keep MinSpareThread 1? This is likely to hurt performance in most cases. Apache keeps spare threads around so they will be ready as soon as a request comes in. The lower MinSpareThread is, the more likely it will have to create a new thread for a new client, which is expensive. ----Scott. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
