remove broken link and outdated discussion of server performance. 

Clearly someone needs to go through this whole doc and rip out large
parts of it.

        <a id="compare" name="compare"><strong>OK, so how does

        Apache compare to other servers?</strong></a> 



        <p>For an independent assessment, see <a

        href="http://webcompare.internet.com/">Web

        Compare</a>.</p>



        <p>Apache has been shown to be substantially faster, more

        stable, and more feature-full than many other web servers.

        Although certain commercial servers have claimed to surpass

        Apache's speed (it has not been demonstrated that any of

        these "benchmarks" are a good way of measuring WWW server

        speed at any rate), we feel that it is better to have a

        mostly-fast free server than an extremely-fast server that

        costs thousands of dollars. Apache is run on sites that get

        millions of hits per day, and they have experienced no

        performance difficulties.</p>

        <p>Benchmarks tend to be a measure of configuration competance,

        rather than of server quality. That is, if you're an expert in

        IIS, you can probably get it to run faster than you can get

        Apache to run. You can therefore find comparisions of various

        HTTP servers that prove that each is faster than all the others.

        We tend to take server performance benchmarks with a grain of

        salt.</p>
