The practical issue for me is configuring FreeBSD to run with the Worker MPM but I can figure that out. In the end the issue is the prefork MPM and I will switch to using mod_wsgi + Worker MPM. But I still needed a short term solution. As far as this problem goes the earlier poster correctly identified it as a threading issue. I was able to rectify the performance issue by rebuild python w/out threads and rebuilding mod_python on top of the new python. In the future, if you want FreeBSD + Apache + Mod_Python you would be well served to build Python without threads or use a different combination of tools to get the jog done. -- Chris Chris Hilton e: chris|at|vindaloo|dot|com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The pattern juggler lifts his hand; The orchestra begin.
