[Gllug] Underpowered box & apache 2

[Adrian McMenamin]

I am (re)building a server to run an apache/perl/mysql/sendmail combo -
previously this was all based on a 1.x version of apache and although
the box was underpowered - just 64MB ram though a Pentium II processor -
it performed fine under the very light loads generated.

Now everything is very slow if it involves perl and ludicrously slow if
it involves sendmail - users hit a button and wait 40 seconds for the
next page to appear.

The maillog indicates big delays (30 seconds) in processing each message
- xdelay of 20 seconds plus.

Is this unavoidable or is there something else I can adjust - basically
the server was upgraded from Red Hat 7.3 to Fedora Core 3
