Hello,

I have just started a new job for an ISP currently using some Linux 
servers. I want to start to move them across to FreeBSD, but I'm 
concerned that Apache 2 will use the prefork MPM on our favourite 
platform rather than the newer prefork/thread combination one... Does 
anyone know:

Why this is?
When it will be fixed?
What performance penalty this will cause against, for example, Linux? 
How good is the new MPM?

thanks,

James
