What are the main differences between Apache 1.x and 2.x?..

Answer / sagi

Apache 2 is a better overall design.
That being said, 1.3 is a rock. It has been tested for
years and is very stable and has few, if any, serious bugs
left in the codebase.

Performance, Depends on the OS and the hardware.

apache2 seams to have a big advantage on any setup favoring
heavy threading. I have tested it on a sun T-2000 and it
destroys apache1.3.
I have been told that it pretty handily wins on almost any
windows box as well (But havent personaly seen this).
I know that an opteron or xeon running FreeBSD doesnt
really care. They both seam to do well when tuned
correctly.
I stay with 1.3 at the moment as I am still more
comfortable with it, and I runn a lot of OpenBSD and they
have done a good amount of code auditing on the 1.3.29
branch that they are using in their default install.
