apache 1.3.3/php2/php3. After converting one of our bsdi boxes to 2.2.8 and installing a fresh copy of apache, the whole system just slowed to a crawl. Cgi scripts were consuming all the cpu, and the load average shot up to around 10. This was with an average of 55 total processes. System is a P200/128mb ram, 4gb IDE. Out of just not knowing what else to try, I stripped the apache binary which was just over 2mb, which left an 840k binary, and restarted the server. Everything then went back to normal. Load average down to .40 on the average, and the system is fast again. Any idea why an unstripped apache would cause the whole system to just slow to a crawl? This is a lightly loaded system with 128mb of ram, and top showed no swapping at all.
