Would be great to hear any experiences of people installing lingerd and making it work with LiteSpeed. It's a *very* useful tool to make Apache behave.

Lingerd is a daemon (service) designed to take over the job of properly closing network connections from an http server like Apache.

Because of some technical complications in the way TCP/IP and HTTP work, each Apache process currently wastes a lot of time "lingering" on client connections, after the page has been generated and sent. Lingerd takes over this job, leaving the Apache process immediately free to handle a new connection. As a result, Lingerd makes it possible to serve the same load using considerably fewer Apache processes. This translates into a reduced load on the server.
