Hey.....
On occasion Apache will go into extremely high processing mode.......and then settle back down to normal.
I'm running XAMPP on a Win XP SP3 machine. 500MB Ram
I have one PHP program that uses Curl to periodically check a website for changes every 3 minutes or so.
There is some semi intense processing/parsing of pages from that website.
I also use PHP Sleep (for one second) between requests to the site for sub pages to avoid overloading that site.
That is the only purpose of the server.
I do not want to serve anything to the web at large.
Are there settings that I can add/change (like possibly KeepAlive) that will optimize Apache for the above stated purpose?
And any ideas as to why it is going into High Overdirve Mode at times? (Using Process Explorer which shows the high CPU usage)
Appreciate any help here.
