Your CPU isn't fit to be a serving machine it is rather slow. You need to be running a workstation grade CPU Like a Intel Q6600 or a E6400.For 11K hits a month? That's one hit every four minutes. From the log snippet posted, it seems to be a simple mixture of blogs and forums. Hardly supercomputer stuff. A slow single-core would serve it just fine.Cheers, Nicholas Sherlock --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.

Nich,Obviously not in this case as this person wouldn't ne here complaining about apache and its processes. The issue here is the CPU is too weak even if it is a 2.4Ghz processor. The E2220 isn't suitable for a server processor. Its strictly for home computing. I help remote administrate a server that supports 10 Domains and 5 E-Mail Servers that receive a whole lot more traffic on a P3 933Mhz and these issues are not occurring there, and the settings for Apache are default.
Thanks,Dan
