Apache Developers,

Here is my ninth of ten patches for increasing Apache's performance.
This one includes miscellaneous performance tweaks, a new command line
option to facilitate debugging, and a guide to achieving Apache's best
performance on the SPECweb96 benchmark.  It also gives credit to my
employer and myself, as stipulated in my introduction to these patches.

The base for this patch is Apache/1.3.6 + 10x performance increase
patches #1 through #8.  After I contribute the final patch I'll port all
my patches to the latest Apache release.

Note that this patch includes two new files,
htdocs/manual/misc/perf-mja.html and htdocs/sgi_performance.gif.uu.  The
latter must be uudecoded to create the new file
htdocs/sgi_performance.gif.  When I apply the patch to a pure 1.3.6 tree
my version of the patch command puts these files in the current
directory rather than where they belong.  I hope yours works!

As always, I welcome your review, questions, and feedback.
