My application uses Apache to run a closed network Kiosk system. One of my customers is having very strange performance issues, it is taking 45 seconds to load 12 thumbnail files that are only about 4K in size. I am using some rewrite rules to make dynamic pages and file handlers look static to the kiosk browsers so they will cache them. In analyzing my customers log file from running Filemon (Windows tool to log file IO), it looks like Apache is trying to find the URL before the RewriteRules are running. Is this normal? If not, do I have my rewrite rules in the right place?
