I am wondering if,from the point of the speed,it does matter for Apache whther if all files its returning are located within the same directory ? Example: You are requesting page www.domain.com/some.html and HTML code contains files /some.html /somegif.gif www.domain.com/someotherdirectory/othergif.gif Does it matter for Apache whther if its returning all files from within the same directory or from different directories ?
