If you have lots of static web pages to serve with your Apache web server
we recommend you to use TUX 2.1 for static web pages. If you have dynamic web pages,route all
requests for dynamic web pages to another webserver, e.g. Apache 1.3.x/2.0.x to process them.
Or use cgi programs written in C which use the TUX API.
When using file caching for Apache 1.3.26 and 2.0.47 ('mmap' parameter
in httpd.conf), the performance improves for Apache 1.3.26 up to
45% and for Apache 2.0.47 up to 35%. When comparing Apache 1.3.26
against Apache 2.0.47, the latter is 25% better in non-cached mode
and 15% in cached mode. By default TUX 2.1 caches its files inside
the Linux buffer cache.
Apache 2.0.47 needed less active servers than Apache 1.3.26 to achieve optimal
performance. In our case Apache 1.3.26 needed 500 servers and Apache
2.0.47 only 100 servers for the same test.

The Apache 2.0.x web servers can be downloaded from http://www.apache.org/.

As reference see www.apache.org for further details. Compile options '-O3 -mno_backchain' were used. The file_cache module, which is not configured
by default, was also used.
- Configuration:
'./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-cache --enable-file_cache' - Build and install:
'make'
'make install'
