 * Bizarre lag problem quelled w/ httpd1.2  by Brian Behlendorf
 *    written on Apr 25,  3:55am.

 * 
 * The problem we were having with lagging in httpd 1.2 was fixed by turning 
 * off identd checks (why didn't I do that before?  I had used the old config
 * files from 1.1, and IdentityCheck was a new option I didn't have listed,
 * and the default was to have it on - my fault I guess).  

Actually, the default is to have it off... really, you shouldn't turn it on
under most circumstances.

 * It still doesn't
 * explain why the lag to one connection would logjam all the other connections
 * (as was its apparent behaivor).  

I've found the problem, I goofed. It will be fixed in 1.21.

 * The problem with core dumps showing up when Lynx tries to access our 
 * pages with server-side includes still exists, though.

I've gone back and found this problem as well, this one wasn't nearly as
simple. This one is a show stopper, I'm surprised Mosaic doesn't set it off.
Fixed in 1.21 Real Soon Now.
