The version of apache in the ports collection is 0.8.14. The latest
version is 1.0 (with some patches), and it's much, much better. If
you're going to install Apache, grab it from ftp.apache.org, it compiles
cleanly on FreeBSD.

It has to read the configuration files, open any logfiles it has, then
grab the port, etc, each time it gets hit under inetd. When running
standalone, it opens the logs, and memorizes the config files. It's
amazingly more efficient. Some people don't like the thought of letting
it run standalone for security reasons, but it's a much happier server if
you do.
