But that's okay because almost nobody buys multiprocessor Pentium systems at this moment, so you'll get efficient use of resources in the web server process. That will change and it would help to have kernel-level threads to take advantage of the extra processor(s) if that web server were threaded; until then fork/exec is better for multiprocessor systems -- at least the way I understand it.
