Adding to that, I've reduced the KeepAliveTimeout from 15 to 7 seconds,
as 7 seconds seems to be a good estimate for the time it takes to load
a single page.

I don't think that increasing the MaxClients number makes too much
sense here: The whole machine has a limited amount of RAM which then
has to be shared among MySQL, Apache, Postfix, Courier IMAP !?!?!?,
Mailman, ADSM (client), a local BIND9, several backup scripts and
others. Personally I'd say we'd better should have a server that
behaves a bit slow sometimes than a server which requires us to take
special care every third morning.

Cheerio,
