Reverse name lookups cause a big slowdown; you might want to disable that feature, and just have IP addresses in your log files. I am not sure about Solaris; maybe you might try running Apache with an identical configuration on both. Are the web pages always local? One thing that will immediately cause a HUGE slowdown is serving web pages from an NFS drive. Mark
