They are probably also not noticing things like the footprint of
the Netscape server compared to Apache, most of the netscape servers
I have run take 12-16 megs (Solaris 2.5.1, netscape enterprise with
the patch to fix the threading problem) and Apache doesn't usually
need more than about 2. (per child of course). I can still make
a server populated with netscape daemons grind to a painful halt
with a little forking telnet/get script, but I saturate the
eithernet well before the server starts bugging out when using
Apache.
