. . . that reading of .htaccess files is slow. Apache needs to traverse the complete file tree from the request path up to the web root to see if there are any .htaccess files present. If there are it needs to read all of them.

You can disable .htaccess files in Apache config:
AllowOverride None

Please find my configs for inclusion in my vhosts attached.

There is one for replacement of the .htaccess files and one for rewrite rules.

All the configs are wrapped in <IfModule>.

Just my 2 cents

:-)

Just remember that mnogosearch may expect certain things set up a bit differently from this config.

I cannot remember what though.

Also, the static file cache config can be taken out of the rewrite file.

Did you make measures? These files will be in the file system cache, so they will not be read every time. Even if they were, network delays are much longer than file reading.

I think this issue could be closed.
4.3.x is shipped with the correctly named .htaccess files.

Resolved, fixed.
