How big is a 404 error on Drupal?
Drupal has expensive 404 errors. On an ‘average’ site with an ‘average’ module load, you can be looking at 60-100MB of memory being consumed on your server to deliver a 404. Consider a page with a bad .gif link and a missing .css file. That page will generate 2 404s along with the actual load of the page.
What does the Redirect 404 do in Drupal?
The only thing it does above and beyond the redirect 404 option in Drupals configuration sreen (version 4.4) is that it automatically emails you a red flag when an error occurs.

How much memory is needed for a 404 error?

Where do I find fast 404 in PHP?
Fast 404 requires some configuration in the settings.php, and the readme.txt file contains a full set of options to enter in your settings.php. The default settings only check for missing files by looking at extensions.
Is it good to have a lot of 404s?
If you hardly have any 404s then this may not be desirable as it adds extra work to each page load. However, if you have a lot of 404s and saving hundreds of MB of system memory each second is worth the added 1MB load to your legitimate pages, then this is a great setting for you.
