New Revision: 940227
URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=940227&view=rev
Log:
remove broken link and outdated discussion of server performance.
Clearly someone needs to go through this whole doc and rip out large
parts of it.

<a id="compare" name="compare"><strong>OK, so how does
Apache compare to other servers?</strong></a>
- <p>For an independent assessment, see <a
- href="http://webcompare.internet.com/">Web
- Compare</a>.</p>
-
- <p>Apache has been shown to be substantially faster, more
- stable, and more feature-full than many other web servers.
- Although certain commercial servers have claimed to surpass
- Apache's speed (it has not been demonstrated that any of
- these "benchmarks" are a good way of measuring WWW server
- speed at any rate), we feel that it is better to have a
- mostly-fast free server than an extremely-fast server that
- costs thousands of dollars. Apache is run on sites that get
- millions of hits per day, and they have experienced no
- performance difficulties.</p>
+ <p>Benchmarks tend to be a measure of configuration competance,
+ rather than of server quality. That is, if you're an expert in
+ IIS, you can probably get it to run faster than you can get
+ Apache to run. You can therefore find comparisions of various
+ HTTP servers that prove that each is faster than all the others.
+ We tend to take server performance benchmarks with a grain of
+ salt.</p>
