Using negotiation can mean that you get first a list of all the files in a directory, then do a subrequest for each of the file that has the right prefix so that you get the relevant info (language, charset,...). That can cost a lot. But I'm sure there are ways to speed this up. In particular, typemaps should be a lot faster than multiviews because typemaps avoid the above lookups and subrequests. But they have to be kept up to date. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/content-negotiation.html#negotiation. Negotiation can also affect caching performance, but it should not if the server and the cache use HTTP/1.1 (instead of HTTP/1.0). Regards, Martin.
