Makes sense.  Thanks for the link.

I'll bet the performance difference is pretty low, though, probably not 
even noticeable until you reach a traffic level where moving to a 
dedicated server makes sense for other reasons.

I haven't used a dedicated server at DH myself, but I've used the 
instructions provided in the LiveCode package to set up my own servers 
here and they've worked out well.

What issues did you run into modding the Apache config file?
