Hi all,
I've set up a webserver using apache and php successfully. Now, I would like to tune up so I could run as fast as it can.

So I'm asking this forum how I can achieve it? Apache and php have been compiled with the default gentoo option.

I've heard of mmcache or precompiled php code ?! Should I increase these numbers ?!
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
MaxClients 150
MaxRequestsPerChild 0

The server is a 2 Xeon processors with 4 gigs of ram on a T1 connection.

Any hints is welcome.
Thanks
Frank

If you're not using a lot of the modules and other addons and want to reduce processing power check out some of the apache alternatives. I'm using lighttpd now since all I need is php.
