    More like use a fricking passphrase at least to protect your private key and use some kind of agent to save you from typing that passphrase again and again.

    I sometimes use passphraseless private key when I control where it is stored but never store a passphraseless private key on line.

    Be aware of key loggers and other means to get you passphrase once your private key is stored online also.

    Wait! Should I understand they aren't using PKA?

    Sorry then, shame on me.

    It apparently is indeed. I always suspected that this was due to the simplicity of English and my belief that you can write it "almost" properly with little knowledge of grammar and analysis. In contrast, to write in French "almost" properly, it's hard to get away without knowing those rules. When used to grammar and analysis, the "it's vs its" dilemma becomes easy to solve.

    I have seem at least 10 benchmarks showing the same. Do your own research and try to be a little less biased. Latest apache does the same as nginx now. Event driven model with multiple connections handled by a single thread. That is as simple as that and it shouldn't be too hard to understand that using the same techniques, apache will indeed be as fast.

    See a more detailed benchmark here: (search for nginx for comparison)

    Event model is event model whether it is nginx or apache. Most nginx fanboys know nothing about this unfortunately...

    > both in ease of administration and more importantly, in performance (why is Apache still spawning processes for every request that comes in..

    Apache has had thread model (no need to fork new processes) and EVEN nginx like event model, with fewer/threads than connections for quite a while. Update your info. We run latest IIS and apache on production servers and IIS seems to do pretty well but saying the things you say about apache isn't fair and false in some cases.

    In fact, we run instances of apache with event model (max 75 threads, max 4096 connections, keep alive 5 seconds) as a caching reverse proxy and WAF (mod_security) in front of IIS application servers and others. Centralized WAF configuration for all applications and caching so all static content requests rarely hit the application servers.

    App server behind the caching reverse-proxy get 2 to 15 work threads, keepalive rarely on, the config is fine tuned with the help of benchmarks and yes, some backend apps are faster with only 2 workers and often degrade with more than 15.

    This is a typical performance setup.
