Parts of our Web pages are generated with PERL 5 scripts. Pages containing script output show up with a delay of 3 seconds (there was no such delay in Apache 1.1.1). 
I tracked the problem down to source file alloc.c, function free_proc_chain. This function contains a conditional call to sleep(3), which causes the delay. I think that the program logic there should be re-considered.

The code seems to unchanged from 1.1.1



 for (p = procs; p; p = p->next) {
    if (p->kill_how == kill_after_timeout) {
      /* Subprocess may be dead already.  Only need the timeout if not. */
      if (kill (p->pid, SIGTERM) != -1)  
        need_timeout = 1;
    } else if (p->kill_how == kill_always) {
      kill (p->pid, SIGKILL);
    }
  }

  /* Sleep only if we have to... */
  
  if (need_timeout) sleep (3);



So CGI included as SSI hangs around for longer and needs to be SIGTERM'ed.
Anyone know why that might be ?

Has anyone been able to reproduce this?  I can't.  I have mailed the
submitter (along with someone else who reported the same thing) asking for
more details...
