I thought I would throw something else out there. I had a chance to hear rich bowden of apache documentation do a talk about apache modules that most people didn't know existed. He talked about <span style="font-style: italic;">
AcceptPathInfo </span>directive. He suggested it be used instead of mod_rewrite for urls like <a href="http://www.example.com/articles/155">http://www.example.com/articles/155</a>. I attempted to implement it and i got pretty far except
<a href="http://www.example.com/admin">http://www.example.com/admin</a> will not load admin panel. It had to be <a href="http://www.example.com/index/admin">http://www.example.com/index/admin</a>. So i just gave up. But if someone thinks they can figure it out drupal might see a speed increase.
<br><br>If someone smarter then me can figure it out might see a significant speed increase. Or perhaps you guys already had this discussion. <br><br>Also might be the way to move away from unclean urls all together? <br>
<br>Anyways, pay little mind to the ponderings of me<br><br>Also of note, <span style="font-style: italic;">AcceptPathInfo</span> is Apache2.<br><br>Scott<br><br>
