Based on apache2 document, htaccess has quite a lot performance penalty, and we can generally use httpd.conf to serve the same purpose, is it possible that I disable htaccess and use httpd.conf solely? will drupal simply break then?

I have several sites where the content of .htaccess is moved to the virtual server directive in httpd.conf. To save the maximum time you have to turn off overrides in httpd.conf so that Apache does not waste time looking to see if there are .htaccess files. Many ISPs do not give you to access to httpd.conf.

Thanks! will try that. I am hosting a server from home so I can change httpd.conf, vps hosting should also do that.
