What do you mean what is the point ? The obvious assumption with all software is that it is optimised out of the box.

- webjunkie 14y agoOptimized for what? For which circumstances? What software fits all?
- taligent 14y agoOptimized for serving HTTP requests at a high throughput. What possible reason is there for Apache deliberately slowing that down ?
- fpgeek 14y agoAre you serious? Just off the top of my head, how about... - Simplifying the initial setup? - Making the default configuration simpler to understand? - Dialing up logging to make your initial configuration easier to monitor / debug? - Performance options with security implications (e.g. ok if other parts of your infrastructure are up-to-snuff, but otherwise...)? The default configuration should be tuned to the needs of whoever is most likely to be using it. I have a hunch that's far more likely to be people using an Apache server (maybe even a web server) for the first time than people with extreme performance requirements.
- peterwwillis 14y agoIf this wasn't a troll, please rest assured that most software is not optimized out of the box (especially when half the optimizing that affects the application is in the kernel)
