Hi, I ran across this web page the other day, and it seems like a reasonable choice for me (running on kinda low-end hardware). <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/perf-tuning.html#compiletime>; I have these modules in my config for my "development server", and I use the term loosely, it's really my "make your mistakes here, instead of on the REAL web server" machine. I researched each module on the Apache site, and to the extent that I understood, chose whether to comment them or not. It loads without any syntax errors, and I have tested the things that I can think of that might require a module. I'm not doing any user authentication, no dynamic pages, no forms, some cgi scripts, all but 2 in SSI, the other 2 in Perl. Can anyone see anything that I've commented that I'll be sorry for? Can anyone suggest any more testing I should do?
