[users@httpd] MPM prefork

| Re: [users@httpd] MPM prefork
Hello, I've started using the MPM prefork with apache2 along with
these settings:

StartServers            5
MinSpareServers         5
MaxSpareServers         20
MaxClients              150
MaxRequestsPerChild     100

I'm happy with the results, but I'm curious about the following quote
taken from the prefork online docs:

"This Multi-Processing Module (MPM) implements a non-threaded,
pre-forking web server that handles requests in a manner similar to
Apache 1.3."

Does this mean apache-1.3 preforked by default?  If so, why was this
behavior changed for apache2?  Why wouldn't I want to run MPM prefork?
