Evenin' Has anybody put together a good, clean way to get mod_ssl to use the /usr/lib/i586/libssl.so.0.9.6 in order to gain that 2x speed boost?
Is there a better way than either LD_LIBRARY_PATH or replacing the /usr/lib/lib{ssl,crypto}... with the i586 versions (or symlinks thereto)? Etiher way feels a little hacky. The box I'm doing this is a mostly-woody box, so it may be that a later libc6 package takes care of it automatically, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer yet (and don't intend to upgrade libc6 on this box before knowing that it would solve this problem). My hunch is that this isn't the case, since on a sid machine, ldd (and openssl speed rsa tests) show that the loader doesn't perform any magic to use the optimized library; I must use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have it loaded. My thinking at this point is that the best way is to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the apache initscript, but I'm wondering if anyone has a better solution.
