Thank you Gonzalo,

But I didn't succeed in profiling since I'm not allowed to "do a few
requests" because I'm getting 503-error every time when I run
mod-mono-server separately from apache.
I suspect that could be user-rights issue... Probably I'm missing
something, but how could I run mod-mono-server from the same user as run
apache, if it is system user - apache daemon - wwwrun?
The other thing I've tried to change apache2/uid.conf and rights of
application files and files in /tmp/ dir to start both apache and
mod-mono-server from local user, but also got the same error.
How could I resolve this issue?
