Hi,

We do have a few high load web servers behind two load balancers running  
\*  
nginx/1.0.0\*  
I upgraded two of them to _nginx/1.0.12_ all servers are running well  
despite the version of nginx  
However I’ve noticed that there is a big difference in active  
connections  
between the old version  
and the new version.

What do you think about it, is it bad or good.
