I've recently considered switching from mod_perl to mod_php because
mod_perl, unless configured with multiple servers/ports/IP addresses, serves
static HTML from mod_perl processes, which is grossly inefficient. Since I
do not think you should have to tamper so much with server configs to do web
development efficiently I'm considering mod_php instead. I need to know if
PHP handles this differently:
- Are static HTML requests handled through a normal HTTPD process rather
than a mod_php process?
- How does the memory/process compare for a similar script written in
mod_perl/mod_php? Is mod_php more efficient in its use of memory?
