[Webdev] aolserver vs apache

[Donncha O Caoimh]

hehe.. but even with the different hardware the strength of each server
was shown.
AOLserver is bloody fast at serving static pages (and I presume TCL
scripts as that's it's native scripting language) but the PHP module
needs work.
Apache is the old work horse, good and flexible. It ambles along doing
everything reasonably well, or good enough for the job at hand.

Oh, got MySQL replication working yesterday.. sweet :) 

Donncha.
