.htaccess slowing things down
I believe that we should move our .htaccess to the main httpd.conf. I
haven't done any benchmarking, but I think that reparsing of this large
file on each request definitely adds to the slow-down of the response
times. What do you think?

That's a cool idea, though it'll require mod_perl built in. Which is not
the case with perl.apache.org, which runs on the main httpd server. I
think we will just ask root to add:
Include whatever/wherever/perl.apache.org.httpd.conf
, so we can modify it without bothering root. Of course that means that
changes won't propogate immediately, but I doubt we will have any
changes to .htaccess once we release the site.

This seems to be the knowledge of the wise, to not have *anything*
in an .htaccess file.
In fact, an upcoming column I'm writing will be showing how to have
".htaccess2" files in each directory, and on server startup, it
quickly walks the directories and interprets those with <Directory>
directives embedded, so they get parsed once. Then you get nearly the
best of both worlds. Downside is that "root" is now running them, not
the web User, so you have to trust those with write access to .htaccess2.

I didn't say that recent additions to .htaccess made the reponses
slower, I was talking in general. I guess a proper benchmark will be
better than thousands words.

Nah, .htaccess has been there for a while, and the speed decrease is
because of heavy traffic on apache.org after the security fix for chunked
request body.

+1 I have noticed the lack of speed.
