I went from 9.1 straight to 9.1.1rc2... I had started upgrading my servers
one by one and I noticed the 9.1 version crashing for no reason at all on a
few of my (what I consider) very high load servers (27,000++ domains). When I
kept running into that brick wall I started looking for a new version, and by
that time 9.1.1rc2 was just made available. (If your going to be on the edge,
why not the bleeding edge, eh?)

I've no basis for an rc1 versus rc2 comparison, but rc2 seems to be
performing quite well in and of it's own rights.
