Modules allow Apache to expand the capabilities that it has by using modules. Modules use the Multi-Processing Module (MPM) to create a child process to expand into a new module. These modules allow not only Apache to expand but it also speeds up aspects that Apache expands into because they are loaded in memory. An example would be when Apache loads SSL or PHP as a module. These features provide additional capabilities for Apache as they are loaded into memory. Often these modules can be unloaded when the feature is no longer needed, thus giving back valuable memory. The other valuable feature in this is that the administrator can add and subtract features without recompiling.
