<li>The server can be better customized for the needs of the
particular site. For example, sites that need a great deal of
scalability can choose to use a threaded MPM like
- <module>worker</module>, while sites requiring
+ <module>worker</module> or <module>event</module>, while sites requiring
stability or compatibility with older software can use a
<module>prefork</module>. In addition,
special features like serving different hosts under different
<p>MPMs must be chosen during configuration, and compiled into
the server. Compilers are capable of optimizing a lot of
functions if threads are used, but only if they know that
- threads are being used. Because some MPMs use threads on Unix
- and others don't, Apache will always perform better if the MPM
- is chosen at configuration time and built into Apache.</p>
+ threads are being used.</p>
<p>To actually choose the desired MPM, use the argument
- --with-mpm= <em>NAME</em> with the <program>configure</program> script.
- <em>NAME</em> is the name of the desired MPM.</p>
+ <code>--with-mpm=<em>NAME</em></code> with the
+ <program>configure</program> script. <em>NAME</em> is the name of the
+ desired MPM.</p>
<p>Once the server has been compiled, it is possible to
determine which MPM was chosen by using <code>./httpd
