Gotta agree with Kate here. AOLserver is much faster than Apache 1.3.xx,
might be more even when Apache 2.0 becomes more stable.

I would be using AOLserver now except that it didn't work well with PHP
when I tested it last. AOLserver 3.1 is out now so I'll give that a spin
with PHP4. Expect a report later..
