Does spawning a shell command to alter the banner of each outgoing HTTP packet introduce a significant load to the Apache server?  I was doing something similar with the Apache's reverse proxy but never carried that experiment into a production environment.  In that instance I was substituting certain text strings with 'replace' and was worried about the scalability of such a solution.
