[users@httpd] apache performance problems

[Kailash Vyas <ka...@gmail.com>]

hi 

I am facing some issues with apache webserver. The web pages are taking a 
long time to load especially the images.
The following is the configuration that i have kept in httpd.conf 
I am running apache 1.3 and php 4.3.1. is there anything wrong specified in 
the configuration file.

At runtime apache is loading 
Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 
mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.3.10 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 
mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP-CGI/0.1b

I used Apache jmeter for testing purposes and load time is around 
HTTP Request 74 samples 16373 ms(avg) 8312 ms(avg) 40498 ms (max) 45.8/hour 
(rate)
