  Hmmmm... It seems OK from here, too.  Now I'm even more perplexed.  Last
  night it was SLOW, this AM it's perfectly OK.  Haven't touched the box
  between now and then.  In troubleshooting yesterday I even when so far as
  to ruin my uptime w/a reboot and still no change.

Last night it was perfectly consistant.  Today it's consistantly perfect.

as an Apache module.

Well, at this point I'm going to write it off to gremlins.  I have nary a
log entry to indicate a problem.  Or perhaps some mysterious yet
well-meaning PhpWikiPerson owned my box last night and set things right
w/out saying anything.  If it happens again I'll just try harder to gather
useful data...

At any rate, thanks for taking time to consider the problem!
