I don't think I should try that test on my P90, 32MB :-)
I had created by own ApacheGallery-like mod_perl handler based on
Autoindex which worked well on my system. It created thumbnails and
one reduced size of each image stored in a subdirectory served
directly by the webserver. The reductions were run by the request for
HTML. After uploading new images I would hit the page and wait for a
couple minutes as the server reduced the images. It worked for more
than a year. Then I 'upgraded' to Apache2.
Once ApacheGallery is running on Apache2 I may (need?) to adapt it to
use a similar system to get acceptable performance, depending on the
slowdown of having mod_perl serve the images. Any idea how send_fd
compares to serving a static file? My guess is that I'm memory bound
and it doesn't make much difference.
With a bit of guidance as to where I should look for the functionality
of Apache::Request in Apache2 I could try porting ApacheGallery myself.
If someone has got it kinda working I'd be happy to debug and test.
