Which to install: Apache Worker or Prefork? What are the (dis-)advantages of each?
- by Aron Rotteveel
Based on the descriptions for both the Prefork and Worker MPM, it seems the prefork type is somewhat outdated, but I can't really find a proper comparison of the two types.
What i'd like to know:
What are the differences between the two versions?
What are the (dis-)advantages of each server type?
Are there any basic guidelines on which type to choose based on the conditions?
Are there any big performance differences between the two?
