Did not expect to be able to run apache 1.3.6 compiled for i386 in 1999 in a chroot on a Fedora 41 host. Of course, ps fails, because /proc on kernel 6.12 is very different from that of 2.2, but httpd just starts like it doesn't care.

Huh. With the most basic "shoot for 30s with .1s sleep using 100 threads" test, there were virtually no difference in request rate between that old https in docker and a full RedHat Linux 6.0 system running in qemu-system-i386.
