Hi Nick, There are only about 200 virtual hosts and the document root is on a local (SAN) filesystem, so I'm not sure that patch will help (the description suggested a large number of virtual hosts on remote filesystems where the stat takes some time to complete). The config is large however, approaching 150,000 lines due to the number of <Proxy> statements providing different access controls to various parties.

Do you mean huge numbers of virtual hosts? Go to bugzilla, grab the patch from Bug 41887, and apply it. (it's applied in trunk). -- Nick Kew
