Since you said your in an evaluation process, I offer another solution to
the accelerator
problem, that will give you a cleaner lvs setup.
I've experience with a PCI accelerator card from RainBow,
http://isg.rainbow.com/cryptoswift/cs_pci.html . My experience was with
Netscape Enterprise
Server on HP, but RedHat flags that their version of Apache, Stronghold,
has drivers for this card.
The effect was nothing short of amasing. Before adding this card the
CPU usage ration
between the web server and the CGI programms was 75:25. After adding this
card it was in the
neighbourhood of 10:90.
