How to Use the Apache Router

..caution::

**Using the Apache Router is no longer considered a good practice**.

The small increase obtained in the application routing performance is not

worth the hassle of continuously updating the routes configuration.

The Apache Router will be removed in Symfony 3 and it's highly recommended

to not use it in your applications.

Symfony, while fast out of the box, also provides various ways to increase that

speed with a little bit of tweaking. One of these ways is by letting Apache

handle routes directly, rather than using Symfony for this task.
