Hi,
I have a question about performance when using a .htaccess file. I have read that having multiple .htaccess files can slow Apache. Meaning a .htaccess file in each directory.
We have moved a ton of content, upwards of 900 pages. About 600 of those have been moved from our blog which was located in the directory /blog. It was suggested to break the .htaccess into files that reflect the content moved. For example put a .htaccess file in the /blog directory that reflects all the content from the blog instead of one big .htaccess file in the doc root directory that would contain 900 redirects.

Well, that's better than FollowSymlinks?
The reason that multiple .htaccess file management can be slow and difficult is that Apache2 searches each TREE and .htaccess files are inherited from hierarchical directories.
A rewrite might actually be able to do exactly what you need? have you considered that? Rewrite overhead is not huge, especially if you are caching for this /blog URL?
Thank you for your feedback.
