I've tried using truck-mmcache, if that is what you mean ... it made no 
noticeable difference from what I could tell ... and, after starting to 
play wtih the current site, it doesn't look like a 'processing' issue ... 
I'm going to work this afternoon on building a 'static apache/php' server 
... I don't know how apache is forking its children, but the way that the 
FreeBSD ports went with PHP, I'm wondering if the problem is application 
loading, since it only seems to affect mod_php that I can tell, not static 
files :(
