Hi, I'm currently setting up a web application server, which will use Apache and its servlet module, JServ. The servlets will use a MySQL database that also sits on the same machine. We were until now using a computer equiped with FreeBSD 2.2.8 to do the job, and we're moving to a new computer since the old one begins to get really old. The performance were satisfying, although I didn't had to tweak around. But the fact is, the new server will have to be the fastest as possible because the server will soon be much more busy than it used to be. So I'm searching for the best performance with what I have, that is a dual p2-500 computer, a FreeBSD-3.4-RELEASE and a 4.0-20000110 snapshot. As the 4.0 tree natively uses egcs, or gcc-2.95, compiler, and as a lots of people told me that it was better than the old classic gcc, I was wondering if running the server on a 4.0 snapshot would be forth the try in terms of performance. For now I'm planning on using the 3.4-RELEASE, but I was wondering how egcs can improve the performance, if it does, and if it at the cost of stability. I'll be glad to hear from peoples who knows the answer, Thanks in advance, Erik de Zeeuw To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
